The mayor is coming by to make an inspection of the police department. In order to prevent crime in the town of Creek Mud, the police commissioner orders all of his law officers- including Deputy Dawg- to learn to ride and work with horses. Deputy Dawg is afraid of horses. Unfortunately, our hero picks a trouble-making and stubborn mule to ride. The animal does not like him. The police commissioner warns him: "It's ride or else." The commissioner finally kicks the mule out of the service.
