Scene summary from the 1903 Edison Catalogue:
. . . Marks enters. Phineas slaps him on the back and asks him who he is. Marks replies, "I am a lawyer and my name is Marks." While they are drinking, Haley and Loker enter, and shaking hands with Marks, say that he is the very man they want to see. Haley tells Marks that he has bought a little boy from Shelby, and that his mother had gotten wind of it and had run away, and that he had traced her to this very place. Haley asks Phineas if he had seen anything of them. Phineas tells them he has a story he wants to relate, at the same time taking the trio to one side of the room with their backs to the window. While they are in this position, Eliza peeps out of the door, and Phineas motions for her to escape out of the window. Just as she gets outside, she makes a noise which attracts the attention of the slave traders, who try to follow her, but Phineas pulls two large revolvers and holds them at bay.
