The Bricklayers (French: Les Maçons) is a French silent film directed by Alice Guy in 1905. It features Les O'Mers acrobatic pantomime group and is inspired by the Cambrioleur Modernes (modern burglar) produced by Pathé Frères in the early 1900's

Synopsis

Two policemen pass near a scaffolding on which bricklayers are working. The construction workers manage to pour plaster all over the unsuspecting patrolmen. Was it deliberate or an accident? A reprimand follows but the police are forgiving and let it go, moving on to their own mischievous behavior. They continue to go about their business but the masons return to the hoopla where a chase and jostling on the scaffolding ensues.
