Appointed city dog catcher, the indolent Pokes is pushed into the job by his wife and quickly becomes overzealous in his pursuit of stray dogs, landing himself in one scrape after another. But after a generous helping of free hot dogs at a café, Pokes undergoes a startling transformation, leaving his wife and supervisor to bring him under control.
