An early silent comedy that treats a pedestrian's violent collision with a horse-drawn cab as slapstick spectacle, leaving the victim's fate deliberately unresolved.

A man and a woman talk beside a street near a corner where a cop stands. Just as a horse-drawn cart rounds the corner, the man backs off the sidewalk saying good-by to his companion. The horse and cart flatten him and continue on, out of the camera's stationary range. The cop runs after the cab, the woman dashes to the body. The cop brings back the driver; is the victim dead?
