Plot: Lonesome in a whole house by himself, Bobby is glad to make the acquaintance of Sue Monroe, his neighbor. Sue's father, however, is not so happy at their friendship and soon lets Bobby know of his dislike for him. That night it rains the proverbial cats and dogs, and when Sue, all tucked up, nice and cozy in bed, hears the wails of her favorite puppy outside the house, she does not hesitate to change her attire, but goes to the rescue of the soggy canine. She rescues the pup all right, but her next problem is to rescue herself, for she has accidentally locked the door. Her father is too busy playing a nasal solo to hear her pitiful appears to open the door, but Bobby soon hears her and hastens to lend his assistance. As father refuses to be disturbed from his slumbers, their only recourse lies in Bobby's house, which haven of refuge they eagerly enter. When they find the house quarantined for smallpox the next morning things look rather gloomy, but the health officer is forced to see his mistake and even the rain abates to allow a happy ending of the picture.
