Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Lucas and Larkin, his running mate, after looking for a job for some time, finally land one in a photographer’s shop and immediately start to take possession of the place. They rule supreme in their own inimitable way until a bespectacled college graduate arrives to have his diploma, and incidentally himself, photographed. He looks rather harmless with his bone-rimmed goggles, but when Lucas and Larkin attempt to take his feet off the table where he has placed them for safekeeping, he shows them a few new ones in the manly art of self-defense. Then Harry Hardguy makes his appearance. He looks more dangerous than the college boy, and makes outlaw the rule that looks are deceiving. He literally cleans out the place, and the last we see of Lucas and Larkin is when they are both making a bee-line for the street and safety.
