Two-reel comedy directed by and starring Frederick J. Ireland
American western.
Billy and his pal are bank robbers who decide to lay low by taking jobs in a diner as a chef and waiter.
Billy Franey does home brew. "The Janitor" was made during Prohibition, when ANY gags about alcohol (especially the home-brewed variety) would get loud laughs from American cinema audiences.
Billy is on the bum. He sees a copper writing a ticket to a driver parked in front of a fire hydrant. The driver slips the cop some money to tear up the ticket. Billy acquires a fake fire plug and a policeman's badge, and sets out to make some money.
Boy meets girl. Father hates boy. Girl dresses up as her brother to get out of the house to elope but the near-sighted father mistakes her for the twin brother and all chaos follows.
Alice and Phil's happy home is disrupted when their furniture is being repossessed by a huge bullying workman. To placate him, they try being nice and inviting him to dine with them, but fighting breaks out and the bully pretends to be murdered when a cop shows up, and Phil is sent to jail.
A slapstick comedy about a hobo and his moonshine.
Two female candidates for Chief of Police live across the hall from each other, and their political rivalry follows them home, leading to plenty of hi-jinks.
Slapstick comedy all about love and kidnapping near the sea.
Monkey business at the beach.
