Pig in a carpet bag sparks omnibus farce on Broadway
In a rainy Broadway omnibus a large carpet bag carried by a shaggy coat man causes a scene as passengers quarrel over space. A pig hidden in the bag becomes the talk of the car with bystanders and a ventriloquist signor blitz mistaken for the culprit. The driver and crowd laugh and the door is forced open to expose the chaos.
