Rastus' good judgment tells him to hike. He not only goes more quickly than the chief, but when the irate official throws the bucket after him, Rastus dodges and Luigi Ferranti gets it. That aroused Luigi's hot Sicilian blood, as Nita Nonenti, his sweetheart, was with him. When the cops beat him up, Nita turned him down cold, and Luigi swore to be revenged. Meantime Rastus goes to see some pictures, the star comedy being the rather familiar one of the alarm clock mistaken for a bomb. He thinks it's a fine picture and saunters up to the station just after Luigi has planted a bomb. All the police are terrified, but Rastus just knows it is an alarm clock, and in compliance with a very general request, he takes it out in the back yard to open it, using an axe for a key. He goes almost high enough to pull down a cloud. When he lands he reports that it was a bomb. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
