Plot

Betty runs the local pet store. Silent Henry wants to buy a puppy, but only has two cents. Soft-hearted Betty offers to let Henry work off the difference at her store. She soon regrets this decision after Henry causes a ruckus trying to manage the pets. In the end, Henry recaptures some escaped birds (by letting them eat seeds off his head), and Betty rewards him with the puppy he wanted.
