Titles read: 'THE TOUGHEST MAN WE KNOW!' Location of events unknown - could be Pathe Studio. Various shots of a strongman called The Great Challard in action. He takes off his cape so he is dressed just in shorts and tears a telephone directory in half. His male assistant bends two solid steel bars around Challard's neck. The assistant bangs a box apart with one of the bars to show how strong it is, then Challard hits his thigh with the bar, making it bend in the middle. Lastly, Challard puts a wad of white stuff in his mouth, puts a nail in the middle, then drives it through several blocks of timber with his head. Footage is speeded up to show him putting several blocks on one nail. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
