Playin' Hookey
About Playin' Hookey
Pansy the dog chases the chickens and wrecks the yard. Joe's father takes a rifle out to shoot her. Joe has taught Pansy to play dead, so when the gun fires she drops. Joe then hides her at Farina's. A film director who needs a dog hires Pansy. The children follow to the studio, where the dog chases an actor instead of playing dead, and a guard throws them out.
