It turned out to be a wooden horse

Two criminals (crime and graft) crawl out of the belly of a wooden camel (prohibition) while other criminals invade the city (U.S.A.), beating and shooting people. The camel's platform is dragged in by a rope that reads, "18th amendment," and a man (temperance element) looks up at the criminals coming out of the camel.
