In the brisk, silent comedy, "And George Did!", we are introduced to George, a man whose seemingly innocuous flirtation with a married woman sets off a chain reaction of escalating peril. What begins as a lighthearted, if ill-advised, dalliance with the wife of a formidable individual swiftly transforms into a desperate flight for survival. Through a twist of ironic fate, George's new employment places him directly in the path of the wronged husband, now a colleague, amidst the dizzying, skeletal heights of a skyscraper under construction.
