Description:
- Casey, a policeman, has everybody bluffed except his wife, who rules over Casey. Tony runs a fruit stand on Casey's beat, and Nita, sweetheart of the former, also sells fruit. Casey eats Tony's fruit and refuses to pay. Then he flirts with Nita, who likes it. Pedro, a member of the Black Hand, vows revenge. He sends Casey a note, demanding $500, or the Black Hand will take his life. The opportunistic Casey changes the word "life" to "wife", and shows her the letter. After telling her to keep out of sight, Casey returns to Nita. Enraged, Tony captures Casey and locks him up. Nita alerts the police, just as the wife, missing Casey, also appeals to them. Being rescued, Casey rushes to his wife, while Nita is restrained from attacking him. After his wife learns the truth about the note, she strips Casey of his uniform and drags him home. <11mn 11s>

Notes:
- 1. The running time is based on the measured length of the archives' print calculated at 18fps.
- 2. Subject description taken from "Dark Carnival" by David J. Skal and Elias Savada, page 248.
- 3. Incomplete: the last two or three minutes are missing. Scenes missing include Casey (Edward Dillon) being rescued, the girl (Fay Tincher) trying to attack him, and his wife (Sylvia Ahston) stripping him of his uniform. Print does have the main title and the company logo.
- 4. The Fay Tincher and Tod Browning roles are Italian, not Hispanic (he even calls her "his little wop") and are named Nita and Tony/Antone and not, as "Dark Carnival" has it, Nina and Pedro.
- 5. Edward Dillon, the creator of this film, died in 1933 - copyright expired.
