 A number of boys are running to a lake for a swim. A sign, "No swimming in this lake" is unheeded. After the boys have paddled around in the water for a while, one of them sees a cop coming through the fields. The alarm is given, the boys scurry from the water, but before they reach the bank Mr. Policeman has their clothes. He scolds them for breaking the law, and while gesticulating steps near the edge of the lake. The largest of the boys, seeing a chance to give the officer a ducking, pushes him into the water. The policeman drops the clothes, and the boys pick them up and run off. The cop gets out of the water with difficulty and gives chase, but the boys easily escape.
