Tell It To A Policeman!

Two young lovers (GLENN TRYON and BLANCHE MEHAFFEY) are at home when a policeman (JAMES FINLAYSON) calls. He comes in and the three of them sit down on the sofa. The woman offers her box of chocolates to both men, but chooses the cop for first pick. The highly decorated cop then begins to tell his story on how he achieved so many bravery awards... Flashback to a fellow cop (JACK GAVIN) getting the hell knocked out of him by an angry crowd of men when Fin arrives on the scene. Fin throws down his gun and police baton and summons over the mob for a fight and beats every one of them. Back on the couch, the girlfriend gushes with pride over the cop's heroic actions whilst her boyfriend sits and sulks. The boyfriend tries to sabotage the chocolates by substituting some tobacco in the box but the cop sees the plan unfolding and turns the tables on him, all the while boasting to his girlfriend of his heroics. Unable to get a job as a bellboy, the boyfriend chooses to be a policeman instead. REVIEW COMPLETE TO 4:40
