Dick owns a small puppy, who is always running into Pearl's flat and stealing small articles. Pearl one day notices the puppy and follows him into Dick's apartment. They have an argument. That night Dick gets into an argument with Little Willie and spanks him. The youngster goes upstairs and takes from the door of the flat above a sign, warning people that the inmates have smallpox. Willie takes the sign and nails it on Dick's door. The puppy again enters Pearl's flat and steals one of her shoes. She follows it into Dick's room. A health officer arrives and when Pearl tries to leave, he compels her to re-enter. The two are quarantined. Pearl gets as far away from Dick as possible, thinking him afflicted with the disease. Two surgeons arrive. When Willie informs them that the case is upstairs Dick and Pearl are released from quarantine. Written by
