Charley asks for his girlfriend's hand in marriage, but her father, the police chief, angrily refuses to allow her to marry anyone who is not himself a policeman. Charley then decides to join the police force, so that he can win her. But when he applies, he is rejected because he is too small.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a classic situational comedy, relying on a simple but effective premise. It explores physical humor and builds a chain of escalating absurdities as the determined hero faces each new bureaucratic hurdle.

What lingers after the final gag is the charm of a straightforward, cheerful story about perseverance. Those who tire of complexity will find unpretentious fun here. — MovieFinder Editorial
