Hank and Lank: They Take a Rest
Hank and Lank have had some unusually strenuous experiences since we saw them last, and wandering lazily about town they stop before a furniture store in front of which are displayed two largo, commodious Morris chairs, which look particularly inviting to the two tired hoboes. With the air of prospective buyers they stop to casually examine the chairs, and upon looking about to make sure the proprietor is not in sight. Lank throws his tired form back into the cushions and shortly Hank follows his example. Presently both drop off to pleasant dreams. In the meantime a policeman and a nurse-maid with a go-cart pass by and stop a little way down the street for a moment's flirtation. As they talk two boys, bent on mischief, come on the scene, see Hank and Lank asleep and the copper busy at love-making. One of them suggests they have some fun with the hoboes and incidentally "get even" with the neighborhood terror, the police officer. A handy awning rope is slipped from a hook on the furniture store, a loop made and slipped over Lank's lank calf, while the other end is deftly tied to the leg of the policeman. One of the boys then awakens Lank, excites his anger, and Lank indignantly rises to give chase. With his long legs, Lank would have easily overtaken the youngsters were it not for the rope and 250 pounds of the law attached to the other end. Lank falls sprawling and so does the policeman. The following scenes are extremely funny. Lank, encouraged by his little partner, drags the policeman across two lots and dashing into a barnyard closes the gates, unties the rope on his own leg and securely ties the officer to the fence. Hank and Lank then make a hasty getaway while the poor copper is left to his own resources in extricating himself.
