He plants himself on top of a mass of crates and fishes valises up with a line attached to a rod and reel. He accidentally catches his boss and the latter runs him ragged before he escapes. Al discovers a crate marked for a Mrs. Wilson - a police dog from Germany. He opens the crate. The hound runs free. Al pursues. He lassoes the dog, but is pulled all around the town. Mrs. Wilson drives up. Al gets back and accidentally takes her Dachshund, but instead of getting it into the crate, he slips into it himself, and the slide-door drops. The boss is thoroughly vamped and takes the crate to Mrs. Wilson's home. Hearing a noise, she orders her admirer of that particular moment to hide. The boss enters with the crate. He, too, makes love. Hearing a noise from the crate, Mrs. Wilson again shouts that her husband is coming. The boss, too, hides. Then her husband arrives. He hears a noise from the crate. Opening it, he discovers Al. Pulling a pistol, he orders him to come out. Al refuses. Hubby fires. Then about a dozen admirers from every conceivable point in the room, make a dash for the door. Hubby throws some of them out through the window. Al goes out, crate and all. Written by
