To humor the boy, who is the pet of the family, they decide to let the dog remain. All goes well until the dog shows a destructive turn of mind and succeeds in destroying about everything within reach. The limit of patience arrives when the dog destroys mother's new spring hat and gown and she orders the dog put out of the house and summons father to get rid of the animal. Father secures a handbag and places the dog inside. Willie gets his painting outfit, and while father is getting his hat, the boy paints the word "Dynamite" across the bag in white letters. Father unconscious of this, starts to get rid of the dog. He meets several of his neighbors and is about to pass the time of day with them when they see the word "dynamite" and run away. Father thinks they have suddenly gone mad. He stops in a café for refreshments and the barkeeper who is about to serve him sees the word "dynamite" and makes for the open followed by the hangers on. Father, still mystified leaves the place and enters another shop, with the same result. He is then taken in hand by a policeman who very gently leads him before a magistrate. The bag is placed on the judge's desk and there is a general scramble by all to get out of the courtroom. The policeman, braver than the rest, seizes father and leads him away from the deadly bag. All hands cautiously re-enter the courtroom, when little Willie, who has been following his father to see what would happen, rushes up and grabs the bag, which starts another stampede. Willie opens the bag and lets the dog out to the relief of all. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
