Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 4 August 1917, page ?] Farmer Alfalfa has a pup that causes life on the farm to be far from dull. Enjoying a quiet smoke one day the farmer lays down his pipe. The pup steals it and, taking it under the stoop, smokes to his heart’s content, then retreats to the barn. The farmer takes a mallet and runs to the barn in search of his pipe. There he finds the pup chasing the ducks. In turn he chases the pup. He cannot catch him and returns to the barn. There he buys a wonderful game rooster from a neighbor. The rooster gets into a fight with the pup, which escapes the rooster’s attacks for the moment. The rooster springs into the pail where the pup is hiding the moment the pup springs out. Thinking that the pup is in the pail the farmer makes a drive and kills the rooster.
