It is a jaazed-up version, set to ‘musnc, of the great O, Henry's Im- | ‘The Badge of Police- | man O'Roon,” which relates the rol- | | licking experiences encountered by | ‘a fashionable New York physician,| | who masquerades as a policeman for a day to help a friend out of trouble. | He gets more than he expects when | | his first assignment is to be per- | ety woman, Miss Lillie, who is also the favorite patroness of the New York police force. Trouble piles on trouble for the pseudo cop when Miss Lillie orders him to track her beautiful niece, Mary Carlisle, and see to it that she does not run away with a nos good racketeer, Fred Keating, with [ whom she fancies herself in loye. | When his borrowed uniform fails to impress the girl with his import- ance, he croons her into submission. | Swing music, under the leader-| ‘(shlp of Louis Armstrong and his | famed band, paces the mad comedy | of the picture.
