Step back in time and witness a comical street scene unfold in this black and white film from 1900. Watch as two bearded peddlers, one selling goods from a cart and the other peddling suspenders, engage in a humorous altercation on the sidewalk. The argument quickly escalates into a brawl, with hats flying and a pushcart overturned. Amidst the chaos, a policeman intervenes with his nightstick, attempting to restore order. Don't miss this entertaining glimpse into street life from the turn of the century!
