A lighthearted silent-era slapstick comedy built around a chaotic chase sequence where bumbling policemen pursue a dog with comedic consequences.

A policeman spots a dog stealing a piece of meat from a butcher's shop, and gives chase. Soon several more policemen have joined the pursuit. But the chase does not turn out as the policemen expect.
