    A rural comic character farce that a large audience found very laughable. The rival constables are a man and a woman. They are shown as out for chicken thieves. The scenes are mostly around the country store and around the coop from which the chickens were being stolen. The man cop puts red pepper on the chickens to make the thieves sneeze. The woman cop sees footprints in the snow and measures them. She has the man cop, or thinks she has, just where she wants him and attempts to make an arrest. The man cop rolls down a bank to escape her and comes upon the real thieves. He gets one, and the woman the other. The audience seemed to enjoy it very much. It is well acted and well photographed, and will make a good, desirable filler. - The Moving Picture World, April 6, 1912
