An 5 minute Biograph film from 1908 about a boy who spots a couple of potential kidnappers and decide to fool them in a trap. Hardly the most funny film from those old nickelodeon days, but it's kinda cool the way our hero gloats with the cigarette gun at the end for a solo shot.

Well, now I know one thing Biograph missed out on by ditching McCutcheon for Griffith: amusing non-sequiturs involving sheep carts.

Decent but not really all that interesting.
