Charles learns of her preference for a uniform and determines to borrow or steal one at the first opportunity. He soon finds one belonging to a police sergeant and exchanges his clothes for the uniform coat and helmet and returns to see Dot. Dot is entertaining Ernest, her policeman admirer, when Charley appears, and Ernest takes him for his own sergeant and runs away, leaving his rival a fair field. The imitation policeman's wooing is interrupted, however, and he is forced to take refuge in a clothes closet. On the arrival of the sergeant, looking for his uniform, Mrs. Jones mistakes Charley for a burglar. Mr. Jones' sudden plunge into the situation and the policeman's mad desire for vengeance, makes it too hot for Charley. He cannot leave the wardrobe, so he takes it with him, and in the chase that follows the wardrobe leaves the house, with Charley's feet protruding from the bottom. It continues a zig-zag course till at length it falls blindly over a cliff, leaving Charley a much shattered but wiser man, with a determination to forswear brass buttons and uniforms in the future.
