How the mouse trap works

The player turns the crank A which rotates the gears B causing the lever C to move and push the stop sign against the shoe D. The shoe tips the bucket holding the metal marble E.

The marble rolls down the rickety stairs F and into the rain gutter G, which leads it to the helping hand rod H. This causes the other metal marble I to fall from the top of the

helping hand rod through the thing-a-ma-jig J and bathtub K, landing on the diving board L.

The weight of the metal marble catapults the diver M through the air and into the washtub N, causing the cage O to fall from the top of the post P and trap the unsuspecting mouse.
