Highwayman Threatens Sheriff in Wild Western Scene

A staged ride ends with a Winchester-wielding lightman ordering the bandits to dismount. The desperado warns, but a nervous man draws a Kodak and steals a shot as the show unfolds. An aside delivers a comic read on banns and marriage costs from London.
