His brother officers are inclined to make fun of the "greenhorn," and Roundsman McCarthy is more mischievous than the rest. Banker Kelson and family are away on a pleasure trip. The "tip" makes the rounds of the underworld, and various sets of crooks independently plan to "clean out" the banker's home. Roundsman McCarthy sees the night prowlers at work, but, believing them to be planning a joke on him, he decides to shift the joke on Brannigan, who is about to relieve him. In Kelson's home, the marauders eat, drink, smoke and make merry. Their merriment reaches Brannigan's ears, who quickly makes a tour of investigation. He 'phones headquarters for assistance, and then, single-handed, he enters the banker's home. Just as he holds up the merrymakers, other policemen arrive and the entire outfit is taken to the station. For this "coop" the "greenhorn" receives a sergeant's stripes, to the utter dismay of the wiser and sadder and older cops, particularly McCarthy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
