They steal a newly-filled nursing bottle from a baby and start the kid bawling. The nurse girl comes to its assistance and discovers the cause of its distress. She notifies the town constable, and they and his assistants chase the tramps. They are captured and brought before the chief of police. While he is listening to the complaint of the nurse girl and the witnesses, Sandy knocks the constable over the railing, and during the confusion, the scalawags escape. They hold a council of war and Sandy starts out on a foraging expedition. He secures some clothing and fresh bread, wrapped up in a newspaper. While they are eating the bread from the newspaper, their eyes light upon a notice offering a reward of $50 for their arrest. Sandy has an idea: shaving off his beard and donning the newly-acquired clothes, Sandy leaves Shorty sleeping and goes to the local chief of police, tells him he has information which will lead to the tramps' arrest. He sends his constable to arrest the law-breakers and Shorty is apprehended and brought before his honor. Sandy receives the reward and Shorty is fined $10. Sandy, pretending to sympathize with the offender, pays his fine and Shorty is released. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
