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. Ned is chased by the husband and runs into the court room, and the man follows him. He locks him in jail and finds he wins $5,000 reward for capturing him. He bails out his valet with it, and they are again broke. Written by Universal Weekly, August 12, 1922 See less
