Before he can get away with the money, however, Joe Martin changes the bags. When the manager discovers the trick he plans to steal his employer's baby and hold the infant for ransom. While he is riding down the road with the baby on the seat beside him in a buggy, Joe Martin dashes alongside the carriage on the back of a pony and snatches the baby away from the manager. He returns the baby safely to its parents. Everyone leaves the house to go to the circus and little Jackie starts a fire which quickly spreads through the building. Joe Martin sees the smoke and goes for his animal friends. He sends the watchdog for the owner of the house, and has the elephant haul the fire hose to the house and direct a stream of water into Jackie's room. Joe Martin climbs up the drainpipe, and, taking the baby in his arms, drops to the back of his elephant ally and saves the life of the infant.
