Produced by Gainsborough Pictures
A lighthearted 1930s comedy about well-meaning bumbling cops whose scheme to fabricate crimes to save their jobs spirals into genuine adventure.
The mirthful adventures of Police-Sergeant Samuel Dudfoot and his two constables, Albert Brown and Jeremias Harbottle, who stage a fabricated crime-wave to save their jobs---and then find themselves involved in the real thing.
