The Lucky Dog - Plot

Plot

Stan plays the hapless hero, who after being thrown out onto the street for not paying his rent, is befriended by a stray dog. The dog and Stan then bump into Oliver (playing a robber) who is holding someone up. Oliver, who in the process has accidentally placed his victim’s money into Stan's back pocket, turns from his first victim (who runs off) to rob Stan. Oliver then steals the money he had already stolen, from a very bemused Stan who had thought he was broke.

Stan and the dog escape and the dog makes friends with a poodle. The poodle’s lady owner (Florence Gillet) persuades Stan to enter his dog into the local dog show. When his entry is refused, Stan sneaks in anyway, but is quickly thrown out, followed by all the dogs in the show. Stan spots the poodle’s owner outside looking for her dog and offers his dog in its place. She accepts and in turn offers him a lift to her home. This scene is witnessed by her jealous boyfriend, who happens to bump into Oliver and together the two plot their revenge on Stan.

At the lady's house, Stan is introduced to the boyfriend and Oliver (in disguise as the Count de Chease of Switzerland). The boyfriend proposes and is refused while Oliver attempts to shoot Stan only to have the gun jam. The boyfriend chases the lady around the house while Ollie tries to blow up Stan with a stick of dynamite. The dog comes to the rescue, chasing Ollie and the boyfriend into the garden with the dynamite and leaving them to be blown up.
