And he will soon be too big for papa to spank

A man (the law), wearing a star on his chest and holding long switch, is rolling up his sleeves while a woman (sentimentalists) tries to stop him. Behind the woman is a boy (crime) holding a slingshot. A second scene shows the boy has grown up (growing crime menace), while the man (law) is on the floor with a picture frame smashed over his head, and the woman (sentimentalists) sports a black eye. The young man proclaims, "I'll show you who's boss!"
