Comedy.
Reviews: [Variety, 26 January 1907, page ?] An excellent example of the “cumulative chase” picture. An amateur automobilist is shown running amuck in the street. He overturns apple carts, bicyclists, baby carriages and pedestrians in his wild and dizzy flight and at each accident the victim arises and gives chase until a fair-sized crowd is in pursuit. The chase ends when the chauffeur bolts upon the sidewalk and wrecks a store. The crowd falls upon him and gets its revenge. The comedy values are present and the series held the crowd to the end. — Rush.
