A suspicious looking man walks up to the car, gets in and drives to a quiet side street where he can steel the radio and binoculars lying on the passenger seat. C/U of the policeman's feet walking along past a park, we hear him whistling. A bogus insurance man with a false moustache rings a doorbell - he notices a newspaper in the door and milk bottles on the step. He finds a key under the mat and lets himself in. A nosey neighbour over the road notices the crime and calls the police. Various shots of the police radio control room. The burglar is seen walking down a street, a police car comes to a halt beside him. The policeman demand to search the case his carrying and the burglar gives himself up - it's a fair cop guv!
