A little boy and his beloved puppy find themselves in and out of mischief.

Bobby Bumps Caught in the Jamb

Caught In Time

When Fido tells Bobby Bumps how he and the mouse alternately distracted the cat to steal her bowl of milk, Bobby figures they can use the same trick on the maid to get at the jampot in this amusing cartoon.

You may wonder how the Bobby Bumps cartoons survived long enough to be rediscovered. Animation, a few artists like Emile Cohl aside, were looked on as for the kiddies, and not worth saving, particularly after sound film came in. John Randolph Bray saved everything -- he also produced a lot of documentary shorts, even after he ceased cartoon production in the middle of the 1920s. The catalogue was kept in place and used for rentals for many a year, and it wasn&apos;t until the late 1960s, when demand slackened and nitrate deterioration threatened, that the movies in the warehouse were junked. By that time, enough copies survived that a diligent collector could find a lot of good prints.
