Fred Ardath is minding his own business being drunk in the park, when a woman comes up and abuses him. Because he refuses to submit to her invective, she calls her boyfriend, and eventually a cop, all to no effect, but Ardath is one of those comic drunks, and this is a funny skit.

This caused several comic archetypes to arise, and a couple of them, amusingly played, are on view here.
