Stop Thief!
Directed by James Williamson
Produced by Williamson Kinematograph Company
A lighthearted silent-film slapstick chase comedy built on physical humor and the simple spectacle of a thief pursued through the streets by a boy and dogs.
A lad from a butcher shop is carrying a tray laden with a roast or a leg of lamb. A hobo grabs it and runs. The boy gives chase, joined by dogs, as neighbors watch the spectacle. The hobo jumps into a large rain barrel, followed by the dogs.
