Sinekatalog’s take
A parody of a famous Western with child bandits robbing a kiddie train, chased by police. Porter spoofs his own earlier hit with cheerful silliness. A short, amusing curiosity for fans of early cinema's sense of fun.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
