But he lacks the price of a box of candy, so contrives to steal it. He surprises the girl with the candy and she surprises him with a big dog. The dog, playful, chases Jimmie several blocks and finally trees him, tearing his pants. The girl calls the dog off but accuses Jimmie of mistreating her pet. Quite conscious of the conditions of his pants, Jimmie tries to hide the rip. Several girls giggle. Back at the messenger office a woman phones the manager for "the most reliable messenger." The boss sends Jimmie, torn pants and all. The woman has a dog for Jimmie to deliver on another street. They start out; the dog leads Jimmie a merry chase, almost gets in a fight with his girl's dog, and finally walks into a dog show where she is awarded the blue ribbon. Complications follow but Jimmie finally manages to sooth things over; he gives the blue ribbon to "the best in the burg" - his girl, and all ends well. Written by
