The morning Mrs. Pokes receives word that her husband has received an appointment as City Dog Catcher, she loses no time in routing her tired spouse from his downy bed and rushes him over to the dog pound, where Jabbs is waiting for him. Jabbs instructs Pokes in the gentle art of swinging the net on all stray dogs and orders him to go out and make good. In his anxiety to win the medal as champion dog catcher, Pokes tries to capture every dog he spies, no matter where they are or to whom they belong. After getting into all kinds of trouble because of his misplaced zeal, Pokes decides to partake of a little liquid refreshment. Inside the café, his attention is attracted by the free lunch. After devouring about a ton of "hot dogs," Pokes is transformed into a dog, and only after the strenuous action on the part of Jabbs and Mrs. Pokes is the would-be dog catcher subdued and safely muzzled.
