plotting, plodding

Plotting or plotting means planning or scheming--
They were accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Plotting this information on a graph might make it easier to understand.

Plodding or plodding ( almost rhymes with plotting ) means walking or moving heavily and slowly--
If he keeps plodding along like that, it will take all day to get there.
After what seemed like years of diligent plodding, he rose to the top of his profession.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"The patrolman was plodding down the path when he came upon a gang plotting to rob the bank."
