PITFALLS OF A GREAT CITY

In the busy streets of the big
city Spikes fingers yearn for ac-
ton. A woman's purse gives them
the exercise they need. The thief
rushes through the crowd with
his booty, while policemen and
citizens give hot chase.
His pursuers come closer. Spike
crawls under a fence, finds an
innocent man, thrusts the purse in
his hand and flees on.
The police close upon Jerry, for
he has the purse. He filings the
hateful thing away, and takes TO
his heels.
A desperate crook forces an
entry into a young girls room and
kisses her. A terrific struggle
follows, in which he is thrown
out of the house by her sister.
