The note contains the information that there is a cock fight in progress in the rear of a neighboring buffet. Mulcahy turns about to question the lad, but the young fellow has made good his escape and Mulcahy decides to go to the buffet and reconnoiter. Next we are shown a company of moving picture actors, camera man and producer. A number of the actors are dressed as policemen and after watching them photograph an amusing scene, we next see Mulcahy at the rear of the saloon. He finds a knothole through a fence which gives him an opportunity to see what is going on behind. On the other side is a little group of men, drinking and betting, while they await the arrival of the birds. Quickly planning a method of capturing the gamblers, Mulcahy hurries up the alley, when he runs into the artificial policemen employed by the moving picture concern. Mulcahy is frustrated and mistaking them for real officers, informs them of the cock fight and tells them he must have their assistance. The actors consider it a joke and volunteer to assist Mulcahy in rounding up the gamblers. We next are shown the cock pit. The two birds are released and a hot fight is in progress when Mulcahy and his squad leap over the fence and begin laying about with their clubs. The mob of gamblers is cowed and corralled and Mulcahy leads the way to the police station. At the station the gamblers are hustled in by Mulcahy, who is not aware that he has been deserted by his actor policemen, who have been called back to duty by their irate producer. Inside, Mulcahy tells the sergeant the story of the capture and is then questioned by the sergeant if he effected the round-up single-handed. The patrol sergeant looks about, and seeing that he is alone, he answers "Sure, I did it meself." Whereat the desk sergeant congratulates him and pins on his pride-swelled chest the leather medal of the League of the Brave and Fearless. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
