Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The police system of Hicksville is in a terrible condition. They shoot craps, play ping-pong, and sleep the livelong day. So the police inspector finds them. He is about to leave in disgust, when a small riot takes place. The fashion-plate of Hicksville is downtown with an X-ray sheath. The force gets ducked for their impudence, but they also get medals for bravery, the result of the inspector’s conclusions.
