Buster and Tige are in bed asleep. A fly hectors the dog, who brushes it away. It lights on Buster's face. The dog smashes it with his paw. A policeman is at the window getting coffee from the cook. Buster, with the aid of stilts, impersonates a tall cop, goes to the window and introduces himself as the new roundsman. She serves him pie. The dog bites at the stilts, throwing him out of balance and catapulting the pie into the cook's face. Another custard pie covers the dog, who washes himself -at a fountain. The schoolmaster scolds Buster when he comes to school late. Tige sneaks in and sits beside Buster while the teacher snoozes. When discovered, the teacher throws him out, but he gets in again. A little boy at the next desk munches a piece of Limburger cheese which nauseates Tige. The dog and cheese are thrown out again. The teacher calls Buster to the desk and orders him to give him what he has in his hand. Buster slips a giant cracker under the chair, which explodes when the teacher sits down. Tige runs around with the cheese in his mouth, and as he passes beneath a board fence all the birds on the fence drop dead. For revenge on the teacher he jumps into the window of the school with the Limburger throwing the place into a furor.
