Synopsis

Biograph summary: A street scene. A colored chicken thief comes in on a run with a fowl in his hand. In order to escape the pursuing policeman, he jumps into a coal box which stands outside of an open window. The policeman enters, sees the thief in the box, and sits down on the cover to hold him until he can get his breath. The chicken thief in the box promptly dashes up the cover, throwing the policeman through the open window and making good of the opportunity to escape. The Irish woman in the house throws the policeman out, and beats him with a broom.
