Help! Police! (1909)

A young lady visits her friend and invites her to a masquerade ball. They both conclude to go. They dress up as policemen and visit the hall where they make a big hit with the girls. At 3 A.M. The young ladies are on their way home. Two tramps rush past them followed by two gentlemen. The latter seeing the policemen tell them what happened and asked them to chase the tramps. Instead of doing this the two frightened girls run away in the opposite direction. Rounding a corner they run into a milkman. On their mad rush they run into the baker, they overturn the newsboys distributing the morning papers, they run into ladies and gentlemen coming home from the ball. All these in turn chase the masqueraders who try to reach home. At last they got there, they find a policeman asleep on the step and another one asleep leaning on the telegraph pole. The young ladies quietly slip into the house. Just then the crowd comes. Seeing the two policemen they think they are those whom they were pursuing and give them a good sound thrashing while the two young ladies look out of the window hugely enjoying the joke.
