A rookie officer boasts his ability to solve a crime within 24 hours. Novice policemen Stanley and Oliver are eating lunch in their patrol car, and run into two thieves attempting to steal their spare tire. Amidst the commotion, the two officers miss the broadcast address of a jewelry store burglary in progress. Officer Stanley asks whom he assumes to be the jewelry store owner for his phone number to call the station, but the supposed owner turns out to be the burglar. Eventually Officers Stanley and Oliver catch the apparent burglar and bring him back to the station, only to find it is really the police chief.
