However without any success. Until he hears a magical organ anthem.How will this story develop? Will Soapy manage to get into jail or he will find another way to sort out his life?"The Cop and the Anthem" is a comical short story with a touch of irony which emphatically presents the lower class and the obstacles man has to face.
