13-year old Buddy (Buddy Messinger) woos his 12-year old girlfriend (Sadie Campbell) in this juvenile comedy vehicle for Messinger. Buddy uses his carriage led by Maudie (Maude, the Mule) to pick up the girl for a lunch date. Jealous of Buddy's attention to his girlfriend, Maudie decides to lie down instead of pull the carriage. When it's obvious that the animal won't behave, Maudie ends up inside of the girlfriend's house where her brother (Fred Spencer) unsuccessfully tries to get Maudie out of the dining room. Horrified guests look on as the animal wreaks havoc. The next act has Buddy at a bakery/restaurant owned by his father (Jack Henderson). Physical comedy scenes in the kitchen and Buddy serving as a busboy result in misadventures, including fun with pies. The film's final sequence finds Buddy having success as he uses a giant balloon to finally get some quality time with his girlfriend as they sail off to parts unknown.
