The construction workers manage to pour plaster all over the unsuspecting patrolmen.

The film may be a loose remake of Les Cambrioleurs modernes (1902) starring Les Omer's, which reproduced the James Price troupe's pantomime from the operetta Le Papa de Francine (Victor de Cottens et Paul Gavault, 1896).

The officers of The Bricklayers were dressed in English bobby uniforms perhaps in an attempt to disguise the origins of the story.

In 1908, Pathé Frères was subsequently sued for copyright infringement for his remake of Cambrioleur modernes.
