A magic act performs on stage to an audience, whilst the stagehand (Hardy) robs the leading actress of her jewels backstage. This results in him, and the rest of his gang, being pursued along the top of a moving train by the chasing ensemble of cops as well as one of the theatre actors (Semon).
Silent two-reel comedy with Larry Semon, featuring Oliver Hardy. There are a couple of decent sight-gags, and the last five minutes are quite brilliant; a train ploughing through the middle of a mobile home which has been unhooked on the railway tracks, cops being pulled along on by the train with their backsides gliding on the rails. There is a ballsy stunt performed by Semon towards the end (which you can see is real) where he narrowly avoids being hit by the oncoming train (which is included in the STILLS section herein).
