The mayor of the 'medium-sized city' has some very strange ideas. Among them, that firemen should put out fires using peanut butter instead of water, and that policemen should chase robbers while wearing clown costumes.
Needless to say, these decisions don't work out very well. When Sparky the penguin wonders why no one is questioning the mayor's very silly ideas, he learns that everyone is afraid they will be laughed at if they say what they really think.
