When the mischievous bird runs away after one too many pranks, Bingo realizes how much Jerry means to him, and a chance to return the bird leads to an unexpected reward.
Bingo finds a dollar and does the honest thing by returning it—but the banana peddler he helps doesn't believe the monkey doodle boy's good deed, and keeps his money anyway.
