In the tradition of Rin-Tin-Tin, and Lassie comes Lad the wonder dog. The drama chronicles the adventures of the courageous canine. First Lad wins a dog show even though the neighbors dog was supposed to win. He then saves a youngster from a poisonous snake by taking the deadly bite in his stead. A nurse misunderstand's his effort and pistol-whips him. The poor dog then limps off into the forest and buries himself in the mud to draw out the poison. It works and the dog returns in time to catch a poacher as he sets his master's barn on fire. Good dog Lad. Good dog.
