Tony runs a fruit stand on Casey's beat, and Nita, sweetheart of the former, also sells fruit. Casey eats Tony's fruit and refuses to pay. Then he flirts with Nita, who likes it. Pedro, a member of the Black Hand, vows revenge. He sends Casey a note, demanding $500, or the Black Hand will take his life. The opportunistic Casey changes the word "life" to "wife", and shows her the letter. After telling her to keep out of sight, Casey returns to Nita. Enraged, Tony captures Casey and locks him up. Nita alerts the police, just as the wife, missing Casey, also appeals to them. Being rescued, Casey rushes to his wife, while Nita is restrained from attacking him. After his wife learns the truth about the note, she strips Casey of his uniform and drags him home. <11mn 11s>Language:Silent with English intertitlesNotes:Genre:COMEDYDetailed holdings information: -
