Five Bold, Bad Men (1911)

A desperate-looking gang of men read in the newspapers that an Italian, one Tony Adduccio, has inherited a large fortune. Hastily penning a threatening note they slip cautiously out and mail it. That night, Tony Adduccio, the wrong Tony, by the way, laboriously pushes his banana cart up to his front steps when his wife runs out of the house, showing him the letter. The letter is opened, but neither can read English and are in a quandary as to what to do, when a lineman, working on a telephone pole, comes down from his high perch and volunteers to read the letter for Tony. The lineman proposes a scheme to foil the bad men, and summoning two policemen they go to the place where the money, $10,000, is supposed to be placed. The lineman rigs up his trap, a storage battery and a few wires, and then waits for the black hand. At the appointed hour the bad men slip cautiously on the scene and all are entangled in the electric wires. The electrician turns on the "juice" and after giving them an extra hard jolt the policemen dash on the scene and easily handcuff the gang.
