Camera, G.W. "Billy" Bitzer.
Duration: 0:53 at 16 fps.
Filmed June 5, 1905, in the Biograph New York City studio.
Opens on a set of a subway platform, with two tracks on either side and stairs leading up to the exit. A policeman stretches wearily and sits on a box, as a uniformed conductor awaits a train. A subway car arrives on the left track and a well-dressed man exits with his arms around two well-dressed women. They laugh and stumble, having a hilarious time, getting the attention of the policeman who attempts to stop their bawdy behavior. Another train arrives, and a man in tweed, heading for that car is briefly stopped by the merry trio and joins them in a laugh. As he boards the train, the policeman and conductor discuss the troublemakers left on the platform. One of the women raises her skirt to reveal striped stockings as her male companion bends to tie her bootlace. The other man ogles her out the subway car window. The policeman pulls the gent up and forces him and the women onto the train. The beleagured officer spies a woman's stockinged legs hanging out a window, and reboards the train. Everyone exits the car arguing madly, witu the man in tweed waving a pair of artificial female legs.
