Summary
A sepia whirlwind of pratfalls unfurls when grizzled patrolman Farmer Al Falfa straps on rattling roller-skates and glides into a municipal Eden where every bench, fountain, and flirtatious squirrel conspires against order. His whistle chirps like a panicked sparrow while a simian pickpocket stalks him with the patience of a Renaissance assassin, finally divesting the old rustic of every last stitch beneath a canopy of indifferent elms. What remains is not mere nudity but the annihilation of authority itself—an anarchic vanitas of uniformed dignity scattered across the grass like fallen epaulettes.
