Hungry and broke, Ham and Bud are ready to commit murder for a meal. Schweitzmeier, proprietor of a sausage factory, employs the two. The man lets Ham and Bud into his dark secret. It is directly due to his industry that dogs are becoming extinct in the town. Bud is ordered to collect dogs and drop them into a chute which leads to the cellar of Schweitzmeier's plant. There Ham stands ready to grab the doomed canines and drop them into the hopper of the sausage machine. A turn of the handle converts the dogs into sausages. Bud's quest for dogs leads him into many adventures. As fast as he sends the animals down the chute. Ham manfully attends to his part of the job. The intelligence of some of the dogs is amazing. Even when converted into sausages, they follow Ham about and do all sorts of stunts for him. A bulldog makes a meal of a stick of dynamite. Its master discovers what has happened. He tries to catch the animal, but it gets away. A mob is soon chasing the dog. Bud sees it coming. Grabbing it, he hurries to the factory and turns the dog over to Ham. The animal tries to eat a piece out of the sausage maker's leg. In self-defense, Ham swings at it with a sledge hammer. The next instant, a terrific explosion wrecks the sausage factory. Ham and Bud are hurled into the air. Ten minutes later the two land on the arms of a sign post, four miles away, draped in the links of their victims.
