Plot

The film starts at a college graduation

The Homeowner lands in his pool after being launched from his window.
Keaton gets caught on a contraption on the floor and is quickly brought to the next room.

Production

The version of the film that was released is not actually the original production of The Electric House. Production and filming originally began filming in 1920, however it was stopped when Keaton suffered a broken ankle while filming a scene on the electric staircase. The project was shelved entirely after that, and would later be reworked entirely for what would become the 1922 film that would be released to the public. There are no copies of the original 1920 film that are known to exist.
