Shows three vignettes. In the first a prisoner with a handcuff flying from his wrist is running away from the police station. A sign at the door says 'to avoid further over-crowding leave detainees at the door'. In the second scene a male and female police officer are standing very close together and the woman is telling the man he doesn't have to stand so close to her now that they are out of the station. In the third scene a group of police are contorting their bodies as someone reads out "Ann Hercus's plan to reduce congestion, Sarge - all officers here have to be skinny with size six feet".
