The Midnight Prowlers is a 1915 American silent comedy film produced by the Vim Comedy Company featuring Bobby Burns & Walter Stull.
Mr. and Mrs. Jabbs live in a suburban retreat where the police force is conspicuous by its absence.
The Jabbs family get the scare of their lives one night when the cat pulls a vase from the table in trying to get out of the house for a midnight prowl.
Meanwhile the two detectives have met and are spooning in the moonlight (they should worry about burglars).
While Pete is piling his booty in his sack, by an unlucky chance, he stumbles and the pack falls, burying him.
