Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Captain Kidd on his treasure chest gets a saucy letter from the police officer. “Hands off the widow Goulash or get a tweaked nose,” says the letter. Before the picture is through, Kidd gets so much of the widow and cop, he is more than willing to hand over lady and treasure.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 27 June 194, page ?] A very amusing little burlesque skit that is sure to please audiences and make them laugh. It is brisk, cleverly acted and staged to make the most of it.
