Eddie Redway owes washerwoman Kate Price $12.44 for laundry. When he declines to pay, she takes his cab and horse. While Redway goes to the police, Miss Price drives off, picks up a fare, and proceeds, wreaking destruction and acquiring a long string of pursuers.
It's the very definition of a chase comedy, and might have been made in 1909; in fact, you could argue that it's little more than 1909's THE CURTAIN POLE. That would not be precisely true, as it contains a number of ethnic stereotypes and packs a lot more detail into its two reels. Still, I don't think they add much to the fun.
