Plot
With his attention held by Rose Coughlin, a waitress, police officer Herman Huff nearly lets a thief get away until a customer, Bob Brandon saves the day. Bob decides to become a motorcycle cop like Herman and they end up partners, as well as rivals for Rose.
When the arrogant Diana Hempstead is pulled over by Herman for speeding, she uses her wealthy father's clout to get out of the ticket. When a visiting dignitary, the Nabob, is being guarded by Herman and Bob, the boys are disappointed in Rose's interest in him. Then everybody's embarrassed when the Nabob turns out to be a fake.
Herman and Bob eventually gain the upper hand, even making sure Diana pays for her reckless driving. While they continue arguing, Rose agrees to date one man one night, and the other the next.
