Plot

A criminal resembling Porky Pig escapes from Alacrazz Prison. His allies hide in an empty girl's school and welcome a voluptuous women who proclaims to deliver a message from him, only to reveal that it is the criminal in disguise, who is alarmed that he has been promoted from "Public Enemy Number 9" to Number 1. Spotting a report of Porky being promoted to bank teller and having his photo taken in a similar pose, the criminal exploits the opportunity to impersonate him.

The criminal dresses up as the voluptuous woman and drives to the bank, pretending to have a faulty engine while Porky generously fixes it during lunch break. He struggles to hit Porky with a hammer as he continuously interrupts, before swiftly kicking him into the car and trapping him at the girl's school. He dresses up as Porky and embezzles a multitude of jewelry and money entrusted by customers. Petunia flirts with the criminal, unable to tell him apart from Porky, but realizes after the criminal forcibly gropes her and sounds an alarm.

Porky manages to escape from the trap as incompetent police officers are alerted to the criminals' hideout. He swings with a chandelier and incapacitates criminals. Petunia helps identify Porky from the criminal, but flirts with the criminal as she walks him out into the police car.
