Murdoch Mysteries

Season 8, Episode 9, The Keystone Constables, aired December 8, 2014. Canada. Inspector Murdoch investigates shooting of vaudeville comedian Bert Grady who is found dead on the street, shot three times in the chest. Grady had just finished his performance at the Bradley theatre, with Constables Crabtree and Higgins in the audience. The shooting looks like - or was made to look like - a robbery. He was not well-liked by others in the show, including a young juggler by the name of W.C. Fields and Ed Ward, Grady's one time comedic partner who is now far less popular on his own. The police find Grady's hotel room ransacked and suspect someone may have been out to steal his jokes. Would-be comedians Crabtree and Higgins join the show undercover and quickly identify Grady's mistress, Eleanor Moffat, wife of the show's manager, Lewis Moffat who became aware of their affair a week ago. A buried body gives them the clue to solving the crime.

At 00:51, Andrew Chapman, playing W.C. Fields, is on stage juggling 3 balls badly, and drops a lot. He gets booed off the stage while several in the audience throw vegetables at him.

At 14:16, Chapman is again juggling 3 balls on stage, but this time he does not drop.

At 37:07, Chapman is once again juggling 3 balls on stage, without dropping.
