Jim suggests they "dig up some eats." They steal a pie from the windowsill of a nearby house and, while they are doing the "Alphonse and Gaston" act, the lady of the house comes up with a big bull-dog, and recovers her pie with the aid of a club. Next they try some sample packages which a man is distributing, and to their disgust, find the contents labeled "Dr. Curom's Marvelous Appetizers." They are now ravenously hungry. Sam snatches a policeman's uniform from a clothesline. Jim puts on the uniform and takes up his stand outside the window of a restaurant. Sam takes a seat near the window and proceeds to devour some big eats. Finding the tramp has no money, the proprietor calls the "cop" outside. Jim enters and "arrests" his pal. Safely outside, Jim reminds his pal he has not eaten yet, and they try the same game at another restaurant, with Sam as the policeman. Unfortunately, Sam's excellent dinner makes him sleepy, so when the waiter calls a policeman, a real one responds, and Jim is hustled off to court. Meanwhile the policeman's wife recognizes her husband's clothes on the slumbering Sam, and has him arrested. He is thrown into the same cell with Sam. He explains how the error occurred and both agree that have dined well for the day, and worry about tomorrow. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
