Sur les toits
On The Roof
Year: 1897
A woman is calling out of her window for help. Two burglars get into her house by the roof, tie her up and throw her out of the window! But a policeman hears her cries and tries to climb onto the roof while the thieves are grabbing the haul. Alerted by the noise, they flee by the window, leaving the two-horned policeman in a tight corner! This farce belongs to the Will Day collection.
