He encounters an unwelcome person in the form of a policeman whom he decides to follow, and after seeing the attention that is lavished upon the policeman, it becomes Bill's one ambition to become an officer. After making his rounds, the policeman decides to take a nap. This is Bill's chance. He hurriedly secures the policeman's hat and coat and sets out to get some of the attentions that have been bestowed upon the policeman. But in this Bill does not meet with any great success. In the course of his rounds he meets Nora, the cook, who invites him in the house to have a bottle of beer. While sitting and talking to the cook they hear a strange noise. The lady of the house enters and tells Bill to come quick, as there is a burglar in the parlor. Bill tells them to remain where they are, that he will soon capture the burglar. As Bill enters the hall he sees the portieres moving in a strange manner. Thinking it the burglar, Bill hits the portieres with his club. Imagine Bill's surprise when he finds that he has hit the owner of the house. Not desiring to make any explanation, Bill beats a hasty retreat. He wanders into the park, where he meets a Frenchman and his sweetheart. Right away Bill starts a flirtation with the girl, which is resented by the Frenchman chasing Bill. In the course of the chase Bill knocks several men down, who get up and pursue Bill along with the Frenchman. After a long chase, and being close pressed, Bill leads his pursuers to the creek. Bill drops on the bank and the men stumble over him, falling into the creek. Bill wanders off. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
