When the Chief of Police admonishes him for his abysmal arrest record, Officer Kennedy convinces a pair of vagrants (Stan and Ollie) to help him stage a robbery at the chief’s house in order for him to intervene and save the day – which is easier said than done when the likes of Messrs Laurel and Hardy are involved, in this entertaining, slapstick-filled L&H short.
