Plot
Two young men, Masher and Rival Masher, fight over the chance to help a young woman cross a muddy street. The Rival Masher first sees the woman trying to cross and offers her an umbrella he stole from a policeman. He asks her to wait for him as he goes to get something to help her. The Masher comes along and offers the woman to help her cross the street as well and wait for his return. While the two mashers go to get logs, another policeman lifts the woman across the street. When the Rival Masher returns with the log, he is indignant that the woman did not wait for him to come back to help her cross the muddy street and demands the umbrella back. When the woman refuses, they engage in a fight which eventually involves the Masher.Cast
