They open it, to find a policeman's suit in it. The valet puts on the suit and Ned goes in the restaurant and when presented with the bill refuses to pay. The manager calls the valet in, believing he is a policeman, and has Ned arrested. When they get outside they change clothes. While Ned is waiting for his valet to finish eating, he is called to duty by a girl whose father is beating his wife. The valet is arrested by a "real policeman" and locked in jail.
