Summary
In a sprawling display of urban anarchy and judicial whimsy, Eddie and his marauding cohort systematically dismantle the livelihood of a local fruit merchant, an act of petty malice that triggers a surreal metamorphosis in the protagonist's destiny. Confronted with a draconian thirty-year incarceration, Eddie is presented with a Faustian bargain by a magistrate who possesses a flair for the theatrical: avoid the cell by donning the shield and apprehending the municipality's most formidable outlaw. What follows is a kinetic odyssey of physical degradation where Eddie serves as a human pinball, ejected from edifices and propelled through timber boundaries with reckless abandon. The narrative reaches its crescendo of absurdity when Eddie outmaneuvers the chief desperado, coercing him into a gargantuan cylindrical bird cage. This peculiar vessel of justice is then rolled through the thoroughfares to the constabulary, where Eddie’s accidental heroism is rewarded with a promotion that feels more like a death sentence: an immediate induction into the volatile ranks of the bomb squad.
Synopsis
Eddie's gang has deprived a fruit dealer of a living and the Judge gives him thirty years in jail, offering him the alternative of becoming a cop and capturing the town's chief desperado. After more bumping around, during the course of which he is kicked out of buildings and hurled through a couple of fences, Eddie "necks" the big boy. He effects the arrest by having him jump through a window into a huge cylindrical bird cage. This he rolls to the police station where he is proclaimed a hero and immediately assigned to the bomb squad.
