Drawing a potato sack over the hydrant he fills in the top with potatoes, and goes inside the house to answer his call. The cop returns and seeing the potatoes offers a passing Italian fifty cents for them. The Italian agrees, but when the cop tries to lift the sack the top of the hydrant comes off and then the fun begins.
