A candid look at the 1968 Police Chiefs Convention in Hawaii offers an interesting perspective on the members of an institution whose popularity with the public was in decline. Leacock follows the chiefs and their wives: they test guns, learn to hula dance and frankly discuss their tarnished public image. Interestingly, this short film has often been presented with Pennebaker's, Monterey Pop.
