A simulated capture by the New York Harbor Police gunboat "Patrol" of three "pirates" in rowboat. LS the "Patrol" chasing rowboat in New York Harbor; as the rowboat gets closer to the camera, one can see the pirates rowing as fast as they can. Next shot shows the "Patrol" alongside rowboat; the "pirates" are then pulled up into the police gunboat. Patrol comes up near them, lowers a dory and a number of policemen make the capture. As the pirates are landed on the Police Boat a fierce fight takes place between them and the police, but the latter overcome the offenders and land them safely on the boat.
