When he finally gets in, his wife gives him a scolding, tells him not to wake the children, then asks him to please put the goldfish aquarium, in which Willie had been fishing, back in the dining room where it belongs. Disaster overtakes Jarr at once and he and the goldfish tank come to grief in one wild, involuntary leap over the doll-baby carriage lurking in his path. The children get a good portion of the water and wake up bawling. Mrs. Jarr rushes in just in time to help her husband pick the goldfish out of the neck of his shirt, while keeping up a rapid-fire talk. The following day, to make amends for the destruction of the goldfish, Jarr buys a handsome little dachshund dog as a pet for the children. By chance Ivan, a big Polish coal-heaver, buys a dachshund exactly like the one Mr. Jarr purchased, which he brings home to his large, happy family. While Willy is out with the Jarr dachshund, Izzy Slavinsky, the glazier's boy, succeeds in swiping the dog without Willie's knowledge, leaving a dead kitty in its place. Izzy's father sees the Polish family's dachshund and tells Jarr, who naturally thinks Ivan stole it, so, backed by his friends, he sallies forth to the Polish man's domicile. After a battle-royal they return triumphant. On entering his home Jarr is staggered to see their own dachshund safe and sound. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
