Too little exists for me to adequate rate this one.

Warning: Spoilers
Charley runs out to the car to start it and it begins to pour down rain. So, he rushes to buy an umbrella. Then, after buying one, he places a plank across the road so he can cross--and insists to another guy that he goes first--and falls into a HUGE hole. Soon a policeman comes along and Charley runs inside to change his clothes--and the movie ends.

If this doesn't sound terribly funny, that's because it isn't. In fact, only a two minute fragment remains of this Jimmy Jump comedy starring Charley Chase. But on the "Becoming Charley Chase DVD collection, just about everything (including fragments) is included--that's why this clip was included and that's why you never really see a lot of humor.

Accidental Accidents (1924)

(Fragments only)

This Jimmy Jump entry is missing seven full minutes so it's pretty much impossible to know what the film really is like. What we have here are two minutes that have been remastered and it appears that Jimmy (Charley Chase) is simply trying to avoid all accidents at whatever cost. The footage that remains includes Jimmy buying an umbrella to keep from getting wet yet he doesn't realize that his car doesn't have a roof. Another gag involves a street covered in water and Jimmy trying to place a board down to cross. Until the full film is found, this footage was at least included in the Becoming Charley Chase set (an extra on disc 2).
