About Fatty’s Plucky Pup

Fatty sets his mother's house on fire by smoking in bed and drops the laundry in the mud. He saves his dog Luke from the dogcatchers and courts Lizzie through a hole in the fence. At an amusement park he loses money to a shell-game operator, then gets it back with a fake gun. The crooks and the dogcatchers kidnap Lizzie, tie her in a shack, and point a pistol on a timer at her head. Luke tracks them and brings Fatty and the Keystone Cops in time. Fatty, Lizzie, and Luke end in one embrace.
