Nocturnal Thieves
Here is seen an old miser preparing for bed, but before retiring he counts his money and hides it under his mattress. He is just dropping off to sleep when two thieves climb on the roof and come down through the skylight into the attic directly over his room. They proceed to bore a hole in his ceiling, but the noise awakens him, and jumping out of bed does not taken time to dress, but starts off on a bicycle for the police. He has a long way to go and during his absence the thieves succeed in getting into his room and stealing all his valuables. He gets back after some time with a policeman perched on the front of his bicycle, and as they enter the house the thieves jump out of the window, seize the bicycle and ride away.
