Les dévaliseurs nocturnes (1904)

Synopsis: This short film is about 3 minutes long, and shows what happens when two thieves break into a house to rob it. The owner, which is inside at the time, goes out to warn the police. During his absence they rob his valuables and, when he returns with the cop, they flee through the window and steal his bicycle to escape.

Appraisal: Interesting early film, which features some nice trickery (at least I think it is trickery) of two men riding the same bike.
