Rest suddenly becomes a millionaire. Under the new order of things he no longer considers Bud, the official dog-catcher, a suitable match for his daughter Pauline, and orders him to make himself scarce. Mrs. Rest is inordinately fond of her little pet dog "Joy," and when the animal is stolen by a couple of crooks, she contracts a bad case of "hysteria." Doctors announce the only cure would be to find the lost pup, and Gyvus offers a five-thousand-dollar reward for its return. Next morning there are about a thousand people, each with a dog, outside the house, but Joy is not among them. Gyvus then turns detective, and sets out to look for the elusive canine himself. His methods are unique and he runs into some very funny adventures, but the only clue he finds is a strand of coarse red hair. Meanwhile, Joy has escaped from the two crooks, and they are wild with rage on seeing the five-thousand-dollar offer they let slip out of their hands. Gyvus promises Bud if he can recover Joy he can marry Pauline. A cop on duty, seeing the missing dog dashing past, sends in a call for the reserves, who get a "flying" start and lead a big crowd in pursuit. The thieves join the chase, and when the bunch gets opposite Bud standing by his dog-catcher wagon, all grab the nets he uses in his profession, leaving him standing stockstill with amazement. But he has the laugh on everyone when suddenly the missing dog runs right into Bud's arms. The two crooks claim it, but the cop recognizes them, and the identification is confirmed by Pa Gyvus, who finds his clue matches the hair on one of the crooks. They get jailed and Bud gets Pauline.
