On the Beat

Norman Wisdom stars as Norman Pitkin, a small-time car cleaner who dreams of becoming a policeman like his father. When he's rejected from joining the force due to his lack of height, he decides to take matters into his own hands and "walks the beat" - leading to chaos that only he can cause. With a little creativity and some well-timed mishaps, Pitkin manages to infiltrate a notorious Italian crime boss's salon, foil a jewel heist, and even land himself a permanent job with Scotland Yard.
