The first two sentences describe the basic set-up of many a Mack Sennett film, running back in the days when he was turning out comedies for Biograph. That's hardly surprising; it's an old story, of two young lovers, and so forth. Unhappily, by the time this came out, Sennett, his writers and directors were running out of novel variations on the theme. Still, it's a sturdy plot, and the rising ranks of policemen who stop Stone at the end is nicely calculated.
