It was shot as a short film to spread awareness regarding true crimes and the convicts in such cases. This was to put a renouncement towards those who undertake such crimes and ultimately stay a part of society.
With the help of the episode, it was rather easy to note that people around us maybe not be what they are seemingly in reality. Hate crimes can be very dangerous for society and are conducted by no other people but the common people living next door (Williams). The episode is about a fire extinguisher official who always wanted to work for the police force. Unfortunately, he could not pass his entrance test for the police force and ultimately ended up in the fire extinguisher force. The movie has a twist when the plot line introduces Leonard to be a convict of true crime.
The movie can be considered a helpful insight for the investigators to understand the insight and mindedness of convicts committing true crimes (Williams). The general context of the true crime was that Leonard was involved in planning fake fire accidents with the aid of rubber bands, match sticks, and papers which ultimately resulted in major fire accidents. For many incidents, nobody can understand why the region was under fire accidents so frequently. But as per the close fire investigation, it was noted that the reason behind the fire accidents was similar and planned.
A series of suspect investigations led to the final proceeding in which Leonard was convicted of his true crime (Williams). Through the above analysis, it could be said that films or television broadcasts can be used as a way to depict the real-life stories of people who are around us. The story of a file extinguisher official who made it a routine to set places on fire by afore-planning so that the fire extinguisher department could be in action mode.
