Plot: With the aid of two friends Max carries out a damsel whose parents wish to force her into a distasteful marriage. Thereafter he checkmates the police at every turn, and finally penetrates into the office of the chief of police. Here a struggle takes place between the two men. Max underneath his opponent is forced into a large cheat, the struggle continues, the chief presently emerges, locks the box upon his captive, and gives instructions for the chest and the man inside to be incarcerated. The moment his subordinates have left the room to carry out his instructions, he removes his wig, and lo and behold it is Max, who calmly makes his way to the cell and turns the key upon the police and the real chief of the police inside the box. To inveigle his rival into stabbing a life-size dummy of himself is Max's next act, and then having scared the guilty man pretty well out of his senses by his sudden apparition, this imperturbable outlaw finds time to turn his attention to the delights of lovemaking.
