There's no food in the house for the baby, so the husband and wife decide to sell the dog. When he gets an offer, he can't give up the fond creature. However, there has been a jewel robbery and a hundred pounds have been offered as a reward...

James Williamson came into movie production and direction before the turn of the century, starting out with his own photo lab, where he developed other producers' films. Like many in those first days of British production, he showed a conservative style of film making and a middle-class sensibility in which rich and poor could meet as equals, so long as they were both fond of dogs and babies. This is a late production of his; he would direct his last movie at the beginning of 1910 and live another quarter of a century. Let us hope that his technical inventions -- he developed an inexpensive method of producing film titles about this time -- kept him reasonably in the funds.

The clear stage setting of the interior shots, the unmoving camera and few number of cuts in this one renders it fairly primitive for 1908. At least the dog is handsome.
