Bobby Bumps, a little boy, seeing a pup in the window for sale, longs to be the possessor of same. He remembers having a savings bank at home and hustles home to find it is on a shelf above the couch on which his father is taking a restful nap. He takes courage and jumps for the savings bank, which he finally gets and runs to find an axe to smash it, so he may buy the dog. But luck seems to be against him, he encounters a lot of unpleasant experiences, the little bank is stronger than he thought, It flies and upsets his old mammy and washtub, and finally smashes the window in which the little pup is waiting for his liberty. Bobby is sure that his new purchase is a Pointer dog, and wherever he points his tail there is something to shoot at. They both have now a great deal of fun, so much that everybody telephones to the police station. Policeman comes and arrests him and dog. Both are being seen in the last scene in prison breaking stones. Bobby swears he will never take another pointer from his pup.
