The film starts by showing us the exterior of a police station, and a peasant telling an officer of his troubles. The next scene shows us the robbers at work; they secure their booty and escape. Just as they are emerging from the house they encounter the proprietor, who having disguised himself as an old man, is seated in a wheeled chair. The old man asks the robbers to take him for a stroll, which they subsequently do. They in the meantime have their booty placed at the feet of the old man in his chair. While they are passing a cigar store, the old man requests them to go inside and purchase some cigars. They do so. They pass by a liquor store, and the old man requests them to go inside and get beer for themselves and bring out a glass for him. While they are doing this, the old man whistles for police, and two policemen appear; he instructs them what to do, and when the two robbers emerge with the beer they are arrested.
