Synopsis
Toody and Muldoon are parked outside the Ritz hotel to keep anyone from making noise which would disturb a Maharaja with 100 wives. When their relief patrolmen are involved in an accident, Toody slips away to umpire a sandlot baseball game. A thief called Slippery Fingers steals some diamonds from the Maharaja and is burying them in a lot near the game Toody is umpiring. Toody captures the thief, but can't claim credit because he is supposed to be on duty at the hotel with Muldoon.
