Mutt and Jeff go into the life insurance business; the former as a canvasser and the latter (lucky dog!) as a chair-warmer in the company's office. Mutt tries his "muttiest" to insure various people, but his efforts spell failure. Though a magnet, he's not magnetic, and the people's wrath as well as hands and feet are drawn to him. At last, an old man permits the persistent canvasser to explain the multitudinous advantages of insurance: but, alas! the aged fellow, though a very good listener, does not hear; he's both deaf and dumb. Jeff, however, fares quite differently; he is "solid" with the man "higher up" and is making a decided hit with charming lady stenographer. The little chap believes in making hay while the sun shines, and as a result, the girl coyly consents to go to the theater with him this very evening. Mutt tires of the "receiver general" job and goes home pretty well mussed up and feeling pretty sore. Here he finds his little friend all spruced up and enveloped in his evening togs. What's up? Jeff won't tell and departs. Mutt follows, and at the affectionate meeting of Jeff with the pretty gir-r-r-1, his optics bulge out with envy. Will the lady be glad to see a nickel show? No, she will not. Mutt comes to the rescue and walks away with the fair one. Who is that big, burly gent camping on Jeff's trail? The stenog's hubby. Ha! the plot thickens. With a diplomatic whisper Jeff saves himself, and the tough "gink" goes after the "tall" game. Poor Mutt gets the finishing touches and soon reposes on the cold, cold ground. The "woman in the case" casts a derisive smile at the fallen Don Juan and leisurely walks away with her hubby. Jeff, true to his business training, sits upon Mutt's chest and hastily writes him a life insurance policy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
