Synopsis

Slapstick comedy of mayhem between two sweeps and two comic burglars. Five curious characters on a stretch of mud with a parking meter perform The Post and Peasant as an overture to a slapstick conflict between two comic chimney sweeps and two gangsters who clash in an old lady's flat. Finally, after a chase, the sweeps capture the gangsters, The Poet and Peasant comes to an end and a traffic warden gets rid of the players.
