The rich man protests, but it is the law, he sends his chauffeur and his secretary-butler for the infant. Big Boy is found at the widow's home, surrounded by his friends, the widow's children. When he is told that he must go to his grandfather's house to live he is heart-broken. He kisses all his playmates farewell, not forgetting his animal friends-the cows, chickens and the pigs. It is a real blow when he is told that he must leave Mutt, his dog, behind. But Mutt outwits everybody and steals a ride on the top of the big car. He is discovered and thrown off, only to catch a ride on the rear bumpers. When they arrive at the millionaire's home, the dog is thickly covered with dust and soot from the exhaust of the car. Big Boy angers his grandpa first by accidentally stepping inside his silk hat. Then he gets tangled up in the hat rack and has to cry for help. The millionaire regards the child coldly but is very nearly won by Big Boy's smile when the dog enters. Mutt jumps into grandpa's lap, covering him with dust and soot, and then chases the parrot all over the house. This soon has the house in an uproar and throws his grandfather into a terrible mood. Big Boy follows him, tracking soot and mud all over the rugs and carpets, throwing the servant into a rage. But again the millionaire's heart is softened by the child, and the picture closes with Big Boy safely established as a member of the household.
