Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The trimmers were three hobos until very properly the sheriff and those whom they had trimmed appeared and proceeded to be the trimmers themselves. The tramp, who was somewhat of a “wise guy” found the sheriff’s coat on an airing. That gave him an idea for “big eats” in the future. He proceeded to hold up speeders in the country. The fines brought the necessary “eats” but unfortunately for the tramp the sheriff “got wise.”
