The unfortunate fact that his mother seriously objected to acting as a dispensary of food and shelter to a small array of decrepit dogs and cats interfered to a large extent with the permanence of any of Andy's dependents. When Andy became the proud possessor of a real goat through the fortunate purchase of a lottery ticket, his worst fears were realized so far as his mother was concerned. Her stern refusal to allow the animal to live in the house was intensified into a spasmodic burst of incoherent rage when the goat, apparently in revenge, began to mix things up. When they finally left, the house looked as if it had served as the nesting place of a young and ambitious Kansas cyclone. Andy took the goat to the messenger office in which he worked, and that curious animal signalized his visit by immediately eating a batch of important papers on the superintendent's desk. Just as the superintendent discovered what happened, a man came in with a small box which he wished to send to a certain address. The box fell to the floor during the discussion and Andy, without noticing it, swept it out with the rubbish. Naturally enough, when the superintendent discovered that the package was missing, he coupled the loss with the destruction of his own papers and accused the goat. Andy stoutly maintained that his pet was innocent, but his protestations were lost in the vehemence of the stranger's denunciation. The man claimed that the little package was worth a thousand dollars and clamored for the instant death of the goat. Andy fled with his much maligned pet, and deciding that the die was cast and that organized society declared him an outlaw, took refuge on a rubbish heap. Here, just when capture seemed inevitable, the goat solved matters by picking up the package from the spot where it had been thrown by the ashman. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
