Plot
June Butler is given a speeding ticket by motorcycle policeman Patrick Burke. Later, when Burke foils a robbery attempt by Jimmy Martin at the Butler residence, June, still peeved by the ticket, lies and says that Jimmy is not a burglar but her boyfriend. She gets him a job in her father's company, after she finds out he needed money to support his wife and child. June receives another ticket from Burke, this time for parking next to a fire hydrant, and her annoyance level is raised to the point that she has her father use his influence to get Burke demoted. However, after he saves June from a mugging, and later saves her and Jimmy from being attacked by Jimmy's former gang, he gets back into her good graces and the two eventually end up as a couple.
