| Plot Summary |
The extraordinary intelligence of this particular police dog will "get the film over" with any audience to the accompaniment of roars of laughter. While the particular cop to whom he is attached is taking him, securely fastened by a leash, on his rounds the dog spies a suspicious character in the shape of a cat. At once there is a grand uproar and pursuit. The cat goes like a streak, and so does the dog, dragging with him the poor cop. Through a sewer pipe into a muddy pool, over the rocks, the strange procession dashes. After this unfortunate "faux pas," the dog wisely keeps at a distance from the cop. A little later, seeing a beggar seated on the sidewalk with a card saying, "help the blind," the dog sees his opportunity. Holding up the beggar's hat in his teeth, he "begs" the passersby for alms. The "fake" blind beggar sees the resulting harvest with joy. But vengeance is near. The cop approaches and confiscates the ill-gotten gains. There are other amusing experiences which the dog goes through. Mr. Bray certainly had a pleasing flight of fancy when he made these pictures.
