No prints of the film have been preserved so the film can be considered a lost film. The original screenplay has also been lost. However, some plot descriptions are still known based on contemporary newspaper advertisements of the film. As the name would indicate, the film tells about two local men who are making moonshine in the woods. A customer comes to them, and while sampling the product they start a game of cards, which eventually leads to a fight. While the fight is going on, the local police shows up and arrests the makers while the customer manages to escape.(Wikipedia)

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a simple comedic scenario around the age-old conflict between illicit activity and the arm of the law. It relies on broad character types and situational humor typical of early cinema.

What lingers after is the impression of a theatrical sketch, a single-location farce where the arrival of the police provides the inevitable punchline. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Louis Sparre
