Due to his actions during a daring rescue, young Deputy Sheriff McGee follows in his late father’s footsteps by being selected to receive the department’s Medal of Valor.

Mid-ceremony, a clown walking down the sidewalk interrupts the ceremony and taps McGee on the shoulder. McGee screams and stumbles backward  into Sheriff Knight’s arms. In front of the gaggle, the clown dubs McGee “Scaredy-Cop.”

The ceremony breaks up amid laughter and confusion. Jaded TV reporter Tracy realizes she and her camera operator have hit the jackpot with their footage of McGee and the clown.

Sheriff Knight removes the medal from McGee’s neck and leaves. The clown reappears and lets McGee know he’s about to become famous.
