When the Weedville force hears that Jane Slickem, famous lady “deteckatiff,” will visit them incog., they spruce up to look their best. But in the city a nest of crooks has been raided and they send their beautiful queen, Alofa Breada, to the country with the loot and the Weedville police mistake her for Jane Slickem. She phones to her accomplices. The Weedville police give a drill for Alofa and exhibit their resources, from the burglar-proof squad to the “mounted” on a burro. Meanwhile the other crooks arrive and, while Alofa plays blind man’s buff with the cops, they rob the bank. Alofa slips out and joins them just as the real Jane Slickem arrives. The robbery is discovered as the crooks are getting away in an automobile. The cops give chase and the honor of Weedville’s finest is vindicated when they catch the crooks and save the money. |
