Plot
A derelict, huddled under the steps of a missionary church, feels enlightened by the sermon of a passionate preacher and infatuated by the beauty of the congregation's pianist, in such a way that he tries to improve his life of poverty by becoming a policeman.
Sinekatalog’s take
A ragged tramp is stirred by a sermon, joins the police, and is thrown into a tough neighborhood. The slapstick is inventive and the social slum backdrop gives it bite. One of the most lively early comedies, with the silent clown at his most acrobatic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
