4	In the game, you play as Keystone Kelly who must chase after Harry Hooligan in a department store and catch him before he escapes through the roof. Along the way, you must avoid obstacles such as radios, shopping carts, and toy planes that either waste your time or cause you to lose a life upon contact. You can also use the elevator to shave off some time in your chase, but be careful because Harry Hooligan knows you're coming after him.
