The commissioner and both constables are medically indisposed, so the mayor can't assure security, just now Gert's new outdoor lantern has been vandalized. The ministerial delegate, who came impose the minister's new safety policy, takes drastic action: Van Leemhuyzen is named acting commissioner, the mayor must do his job as town clerk and the delegate acts as mayor. Van Leemhuyzen install cameras, microphones and a reign of police terror, against which everyone rebels, in vain until Gert comes up with a ruse and the delegate with an alternative.
