What happens

When the Studio Burned è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Lawrence Marston. Il 13 gennaio 1913 lo studio della Thanhouser andò a fuoco ma, per fortuna, I negativi dei film vennero salvati e nessuno rimase ferito. Il film è la ricostruzione di quell'evento, compreso il salvataggio di una bambina dall'edificio in fiamme, la piccola attrice Marie Eline. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
