The Hicksville Epicure (1913)

It may have been due to the Purity League that there were no prisoners in the town jail and the constable slept on his job. Anyway, a drunken tramp appears as the first criminal in the town. He proves himself an epicure of the cookstove and a handy prisoner around the jail. Naturally, the constable is loath to let him go. The farce relates how President Purity stepped in and settled the case. She broke up the constable's little game when he would sentence the prisoner for life.
