Plot Summary

A most comical view during the course of which a drunkard who has taken off his overcoat wishes to put it on again; but as he is not able to succeed in it, he asks the aid of two bystanders who hold the coat behind a lamp-post so that when the stupid fellow has inserted his arms into the sleeves he finds himself fast to the lamp-post. In his efforts to disengage himself, he breaks the lamp-post and it falls upon the basket of a pastry vendor, whose cakes fall upon the ground. The police rush to the noise and bear away the drunkard to the station house with his back fastened to the lamp-post, he himself dangling upon the end of it. Written by Star Catalog
