As Jerry sits with another "mutt" he tells bis story. It was when he was a puppy that Charlie Grant brought him to New York from the west, and gave him to Claudia Poole, a stockbroker's wife, who had a few years before turned him down for her present husband. Suffice it to say that Claudia was overjoyed to receive Jerry. But Claudia's husband was too practical to concern himself with a mere dog, and flew into a rage when he set eyes upon defenseless Jerry, snuggled beneath the robes in a baby carriage. That night, when Mr. Poole was obliged to get out of a warm bed and give Jerry the milk bottle, there was a storm. "In the meantime," continues Jerry, "Charlie Grant was making a strong play for Claudia, and as her husband was too absorbed in his business to consider her or me, she was inclined to encourage him." He took her to a cabaret show, and her husband, finding this out, was sore. Then Mr. Poole's business failed, and everything looked dark. Well, everything would have been all right, notwithstanding, had it not been for mother-in-law who arrived upon the scene in response to a telegram from Claudia, invoking financial assistance. Jerry sought to take a bite out of her hand, and five minutes after he was swimming in the river, where the maid had thrown him Two boys rescued him and in the course of a couple of months poor Jerry was sold and resold, abused and battered. As he is telling this part of the story, Mr. and Mrs. Poole enter, and seeing him in his wretched condition, rescue him and take him home. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
