In his eventful career he had looked after enough silver to stock a jewelry store and as he made a very fair looking girl and had some of the best references he could write himself he got the job. The plan was that when the silver was ready to be looked after his pal, Pete, should come and lend a hand. Pete came when Mike knew that all the family would be away, but they had not counted of Officer Clancy. Clancy liked the good things of life and he had taken a fancy to the girl he thought Mike was, so when the family went away Clancy dropped around for a bite and a chat. He got the bite, but not until Mike had hidden Pete in the shower bath curtains. Pete, in trying to get out after all was quiet, turned on the water and was nearly drowned before the water trickled down into the dining room to warn Mike that his side partner was in trouble. Just then the family returned and Clancy found himself without an excuse for being in the house when he should have been on post. He raced upstairs after Mike. Mike's wig came off in Clancy's clutch and that got Mike into trouble. He bolted for the bathroom and there Clancy found the pair of them and proudly chaperoned them downstairs to be praised for his cleverness in arresting the thieves instead of having to explain to the inspector why he was off his beat.
