La Cheval Emballe (film #15 on The Movies Begin, Volume Three: Experimentation and Discovery (Kino Video, 1994)). [Category: Early Film & TV]

While a deliveryman shmoozes, his horse eats a sack of oats in front of a grocery store. The oats must be super-vitamanized, because the horse takes off at top speed, mowing down everything in its path, creating a particularly anarchic chase scene. Eventually the horse finds its way home, and its owner deals with all the pesky folks chasing it by making use of a handy garden hose. One of the better chase films. A 1907 Pathe Freres film.
