Pigeons and Prowling Mummies Scheme in Hyde Park
In Sydney the duo Thirsty and Big Dave plot theft by distraction at the Museum near Hyde Park. They target pigeons outside St Mary’s Cathedral, arresting a goose counted for daring to tally birds. A bystander exposes the ruse as a common trap using “black guards.” A separate vignette shows a driver spared by a caring girl, and a moral about thrift and daily tasks from a women’s war group.
