The first thing is to find a place to rob. He notices a householder installing a safe. The movers go from the house to the yard, back and forth as the man's wife, who doesn't want the safe, drives them out with bribes. The man raises the tip each time and the movers continue their trips with increasing profits. At nightfall Turpin and his accomplice break into the house and find the safe empty. This will never do, so they fill it with cigars, wines, tapestry and everything else available. Then it becomes a safe worthy of stealing. Victor Potel, the policeman, is frightened in the midst of his spooning with the maid, so the burglars get out of the house with the safe. Before a squad of police can capture them the lady of the house comes out and presents them with plenty of money for removing the safe. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
