In the main story, Shorty Shiner, the town marshal, apprehends a group of criminals who attempt to rob the local bank by posing as respectable citizens and gaining the trust of banker Plinkton; during the ensuing confrontation at the bank vault, Shorty's dog Patches helps subdue the robbers. The second story, "Wiggy Wammy," depicts a boy's mishap when he accidentally hits a woman with a ball, causing her to trip and fall repeatedly, injuring her knee in the process.
