So the movie starts out with what seems to be a thug looking at the shop, he checks the time on his own mini clock and then leaves (since the thug thinks it's best to do it at night). The story then focuses on a man that owns a shop with multiple clocks.
After the other clocks go off, the man that owns the shop closes the doors, and makes sure to lock it. After around 5 minutes past 11:00, the clocks hear another bell. Which is the mantle clock, there's a sticky paper which shoes it's 75% off and it runs slow. (Likely why it went of 5 minutes after the other clocks)
But unfortunately for the mantle clock, he sees the other clocks look at him, and this causes him to be somewhat frightened and embarrassed so he tries to run away before falling, but a clock that just sees him in time manages to save his life.
Though the mantle clock almost dies, he is determined to get his accessories including the bird noise off of him, he tries to do everything he can, but as the time passes on his clock and the other clocks, the thug does return. And in a terrifying way for the clocks, he uses the his mini watch again, and when 12:00 strikes all the clocks ring. The thief uses this small amount of time to break in and steal the other clocks.
The mantle clock does not want this to happen, so he runs as fast as he can and luckily the clock managed to get the door open, though the glass on the clock has shattered. This didn't stop the mantle clock as he is a slow running clock so he runs out to the thief and his bell goes off.
Just as the thief was about to put the clocks into his van, he hears the mantle clocks bell going off, but instead of taking it with him (which he could've done) he smashed it, ultimately putting the mantle clock into an unconscious state. But unfortunately for the thief, a London officer spots him and tells him to stay where he is, though the thief runs, leaving all the clocks next to his van, the officer runs after him with his whistle going away in the distance.
Fast forward to the morning now, and the owner of the shop has been told about what has happened last night, this makes the owner somewhat shocked and upset, and puts the mantled destroyed clock in the garbage. The other clocks did not want this clock to be scrapped, so they took the clock onto the table, the man is surprised on how it got there, though he see's a sign that says "No Repair Is Too Small."
This gives the man courage and decides to fix the mantled clock. After a lot of hours, the mantled clock is back to its former glory, and puts it back on the shelf, and takes off the sticker that has been there before, meaning the man fixed how slow it ran.
The clock next to the mantled clock then taps him, immediately looking to the clock, that clock then opens his lid, which makes the mantled clock frightened, and puts the long hand to 12 only 8 seconds earlier then the others.
The mantled clocks bells then go off, the mantled clock then looks at the Big clock, and he turns him to the other clocks, and when he realizes this he stands bravely.
What an amazing short story, it first starts with a mantled clock that runs slow, and tries to take off his accessories only to realize he'll need it. And then when the man fixes him, he seemed to lose his memory of what exactly happened. But that's a good thing since the accessories was actually bothering him, but it's not anymore. 10 stars.
