Thoroughly amusing
by deickemeyer2020-01-03

"A two-reel low comedy number, with Ford Sterling and Minta Durfee in the leads. Ford appears in his familiar character of chief of police and keeps the observer laughing at his absurd antics. He gets into an affair with the mayor's daughter and is in bad repute with the city administration; then to make matters worse he signs his name to a present intended for the mayor which turns out to be a bomb. This follows in the line of numerous predecessors in plot and action, but is thoroughly amusing and acceptable throughout. - The Moving Picture World, May 22, 1915..."
