A Taxi War (1925)

Overview

Eddie and his pal, after repeatedly standing off the landlady, find the door of their room barricaded and escape cut off. Eddie endeavors to make his escape across a wire to a telegraph pole, but the wire breaks and he swings back into the room, breaking the barricade from the door. They make their getaway and Eddie sneaks into the garage and gets his cab, as his pal is fired for being late. The latter appeals to a rival company for a job promising to take all the business from his late pal. It is then a chase between them for customers with all sorts of devices resorted to to secure business.
