The two resort to all manner of tricks and deceptions in order to gain an advantage. When fire breaks out in Punktown, the fire department saves the chief of police in a marvelous manner and saves Amy Grey by a still more wonderful feat, by sliding down a stream of water from the fire hose. After both the chiefs have extended themselves to the limit, they drag themselves away from the noise and confusion to resume their listless lives and to give their future strictly to the duties of their respective offices namely, caring for the safety and happiness of Punktown.
