Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? A safe blower and an adventuress learn of a shipment of gold made to the home of a mine manager. They plan to get the gold while the family is at dinner. An itinerant musician, who has befriended a homeless mongrel, goes to the mine manager’s house for something to eat. The dog does some very good work in the kitchen and the yard. The crook manages to get the gold and the musician is accused of the theft and locked up in the shed, where he is freed by the dog. Later Paddy rescues the gold while the dog curries two sticks of dynamite to the excavation in which the crook and adventuress are hiding, drops the dynamite into the excavation, and blows the two crooks up.
