Harry is a dog who hates to take a bath, so he hides his scrub brush and runs away from home. Strolling through the city, Harry finds all sorts of exciting ways to get dirty at the railroads, playing tag, and in coal chutes. He gets so dirty by the time he wants to go home, that his family doesn't recognize him! Luckily, Harry is smart enough to find the scrub brush and solve this humorous dilemma of a story.
