Summary

Pathe synopsis: With the best spectacles in the world, you’ll never see how Borra, the professional pickpocket of the circus ring can relieve you of your wallet or watch - right under your nose. This Jugoslav conjurer takes a Detective Inspector’s tie off without his knowing. He even relieves a man of his braces, before our cameras, to the man’s utter astonishment. If Pathe Pictorial wasn’t a "U" certificate film, Borra could have his pants off the man with no trouble at all.
