- Abstract
-
The collision of several coaches results in a scene of mayhem on a city street as the coachmen brandish their whips, much to the horror of their well-dressed passengers. As a result of the collisions, two vendors and their wares are thrown on a third vendor, all tumbling onto the sidewalk in front of the corner shop "Peter Thump Gold Beater".
