Brownie is the pal of two messenger boys, Jackie and Johnny. The boys are sent on an errand; they arrive at the home of a little baby and set about to entertain the kid; it's mother comes in and tells the boys baby's birthday is that day; she sends Jackie to get the birthday cake; Brownie goes with Jackie, they taking turns in pulling the wagon. After many mishaps and adventures Jackie and Brownie return with the cake, but Brownie can't wait any longer; he jumps into the box containing the cake and ruins the whole cake. The birthday party is on; Johnny brings a little colored boy dressed as a girl, causes considerable confusion, is spanked; Brownie comes to his rescue and the three pals leave the party to return to their work.
