Synopsis
A bad dog swaggers down the street to a bar. He goes in, perfumes his feet, then begins an apache (that's ah-PAHSH, not a-PATCH-e) dance with a Betty Boopish looking girl dog. Three kids show up, calling him "daddy," and he tries to escape by rowing away in a boat. The ball bounces over the silhouettes of a human couple in a rowboat. Then, a boy dog and girl dog row in a boat, and encounter an octopus. Boy dog swims away, with big, mean-looking fish in pursuit.

Production notes
This series of animated cartoons- sometimes including bits of live action- took popular songs of the day and combined the popular "bouncing ball" following the lyrics in an effort for audience singalongs.
Billy Murray recorded the title song with the American Quartet in 1913 for the Victor label.
