Synopsis: Policemen chase a dog that has stolen some meat.

Reviews: [Variety, 16 February 1907, page ?] There is a great deal of comedy on “The Policemen’s Little Run” and the finish brings forth a shout of merriment, It is a French picture. A squad of police is shown running after a bulldog which has snatched some meat from a butcher’s wagon. The dog leads the officers a long chase, during which one trick and several “set” effects are seen, to finally find his own dog house, which is immediately surrounded by the policemen. No one cares to “arrest” the bulldog, but the animal doesn’t like the intrusion and jumping out of his house chases the whole crowd back to the station house. — Sime.
