Police officer Donald Duck was asked to capture a terrible villain named Tiny Tom (Pete).
Donald started his mission by finding Tom's decrepit house, after nervously claimed to Tom that the police are sent to arrest him, Tom angrily kicked Donald out.
Donald decided to use a different strategy by pretending to be an orphan who was abandoned, and subsequently gained Tom's sympathy and decided to play with him, but Donald has to keep pretending while seizing Tom's gun in the meantime.
When Donald finally managed to handcuff Tom and arrest him, an enraged Tom, realised that he was tricked, chased Donald, threatened to rip him into pieces, but luckily, several more police marched by on parade and blocked their path, and Donald let Tom march along and saluted in front of the camera proudly.
The short was released on May 18, 2004, on Walt Disney Treasures: The Chronological Donald, Volume One: 1934-1941.[2]
