This Keystone comedy features Charlie Chaplin making an extended and very funny cameo as a policeman. Chaplin had claimed in interviews that he'd played a bit-role as a policeman while at Keystone Studios. The film was believed lost and Chaplin's appearance unknown until a print was discovered in 2010 at a Michigan antique sale. (imdb)

Just another forgettable Keystone short with Ford Sterling mugging furiously for five or six straight minutes. You do get to see Charlie Chaplin in a Keystone cop outfit for 20 seconds or so at the end, so I'm sure this will be treated as a lost treasure for the ages anyway, now that it's been rediscovered.
