He is given a book of rules and told to enforce the law on his beat, and his efforts in trying to arrest innocent people are extremely ludicrous. A man is trying to get into his own home and the "New Cop" thinking he is a burglar pounces upon him. A man carrying a bundle of laundry is intercepted. A painter going up a ladder is pulled down. The "New Cop" goes on doing these ridiculous things until he meets a bull dog on the sidewalk. This proves his Waterloo. The policeman tells the lady the dog must be muzzled. She becomes very indignant at his intrusion and lets the dog loose. The cop immediately beats it. The dog follows. The cop, with the dog hanging on to him, runs into the police station asking aid from the sergeant. The sergeant takes the star from him and forcibly ejects them all from the place. Written by
