Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Fashion decrees that to be in the swim you must carry an Alaskan mouse hound. So Miss Gotrox prevails on Pa to spend the small sum of $5,000 in gratifying her desire for a mouse hound. Meanwhile Ham and Bud notice that the dog-checking privilege in front of department stores is a valuable one, so they don messenger’s caps and take their stand outside a store without asking the proprietor’s permission. Miss Gotrox, strolling in the park with her pet, is seen by Agnes, the adventuress, who succeeds in stealing the mouse hound. Pursued by police she drops the dog in Ham’s lap and disappears in the store. Then poor Ham leads an exciting time trying to get rid of the dog, for like a bad penny, it always returns. Finally he persuades Bud to take it, not knowing that Bud has been promised a thousand dollars reward by Pa Gotrox for the return of his daughter’s pet.
