R Wagner keeps a playful goat named Billy Whiskers near his home. The goat escapes at night to raid lettuce and flowers, rings a bell, and triggers a startled neighbor confrontation. In a later town trip the goat lunges for a dog, overturning a cart and scattering berries and lettuce.
A goat causes mayhem as two boys deliver a muddy, bloody scene. After the incident the goat returns to grazing while the boys feign distress to entice sympathy. The farmer Silas Wagner is told to sell the troublemaking animal, and the next day the goat is sold.
The piece surveys animal dealers who stock wild creatures for menageries, with tales of snakes, zebras, and a famed black-maned lion. It notes the perilous work of capture by various peoples worldwide, including rattlesnake catchers and African lion hunters, and describes the dangers of obtaining polar bear cubs.
