Two constables Frank Mason and Lade spot a burglar leaving the scene of the crime, and a tense chase unfolds. Lade is badly shot by the burglar before Mason can catch up. Back at the police station, Mason befriends Rex, a stray Alsatian dog brought in by another officer. Now living abroad, its owners donate the dog to the police, and Mason and Rex begin training together, a development that stirs tensions back home with Pat Lewis, the daughter of his landlady and her late policeman husband.
Pat resents not being able to treat Rex as a pet, and the dog’s presence pulls Mason’s attention away from their relationship. Despite the strain, Rex and Mason complete their training and take to patrols on the streets of Hampstead.
