His first quest is the welcoming doors of a saloon in which a large free lunch is advertised. Oboe tries the lunch, but not having the necessary wherewithal to buy the necessary liquid accompaniment, receives a rough reception and is thrown out. He wanders to various places but in each case meets with disappointment and growing hunger owing to his exertions. Finally he works the residence district and meets with more success. Carrie Hash, maid and cook for Miss Ima Oldmaid, admires his dashing appearance and brings him out a swell feed. But alas, her employer is on the lookout for "panhandlers," and ere the tempting food reaches his mouth, the dish is snatched away by the irate maiden and he is again cast out. Tired from his fruitless search, Oboe wanders to an animal menagerie and asks the trainer for a job. The trainer turns him down and poor Oboe rests his tired frame on a bench. He drops off to sleep and has a wondrous dream. In the dream he is an animal king and handles man-eating brutes as if they were dogs. Determined upon revenge for his cold reception, he takes a collection of his animals and sets out to "do the town." His first stop is the free lunch stand, and what he does there is "a caution." The inmates leave and Joe Martin and the prize chimpanzee have the place to themselves. There is a great consumption of liquor and eatables. In revenge, he decides to move the bar, and calling to his assistance the elephant, he hitches same to the brute and orders him to walk away. The elephant walks, so does the bar, so does the side of the house, and Charlie, the elephant, drags the wreckage. Oboe and Joe sit on the bar, and oblivious to their destination, enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, Charlie wanders over a charge of dynamite on the road and the explosion happens at the wrong time. Oboe, Joe and the bar take a trip in the sky, and when they return to earth, drop through the roof of the house where Miss Ima Oldmaid lives. One of the tenants is taking a bath, the bar comes through and down below to where Ima and others are eating. The bar lands in the middle of the room. The boarders are covered with dust and feathers. Carrie sees Oboe and they are in a loving embrace, when he slides off the bar. With a jolt, Oboe falls off the bench and wakes up. As he stands rubbing his eyes in a daze, the animal man comes up and offers him a job. With a mad desire to escape, Oboe takes his hat in hand and "beats it."
