Bill Morgan, the head animal man, dislikes Murphy, and wishes to put another man in his place, but as the superintendent has no cause to discharge him, Morgan plots to have Murphy discharged. Enticing him into a saloon, he manages to induce Murphy to drink until he becomes intoxicated. The next morning Morgan informs the superintendent of Murphy's weakness, and Murphy is discharged. Through a friend Murphy obtains employment in the city fire department. One night Morgan carelessly throws a lighted match into the hay-barn and a few moments later it becomes a mass of flames. Murphy's company gets the alarm and answers the call. The zoo is in danger of complete destruction and the animal men have disappeared. The superintendent appeals to Murphy to save his animals, and Murphy thinking only of his pets, rushes through the flames and reaches his beloved pals. He saves the frightened animals, and later is made head animal man of the new City Zoo, while Morgan is dismissed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
