That's the dog barking, of course, probably the most intelligent thing said in this funny Keystone. Nurse Minta Durfee is on the beach with her young charge and boyfriend - Minta's boyfriend, that is - and Roscoe Arbuckle and his hatchet-faced sweetie are too. Well, they switch partners, and the little girl winds up stranded on a rock with the tide coming in. Will no one save her? Given they call the Keystone Kops for help, probably not.

It all leads into a funny climax, with nothing being accomplished, besides a lot of people falling into the water. Still, that's always amusing. And Minta is cute. She'll probably look sexy in mourning.

A well trained dog

A lively comedy with a plot which serves for the filming of a big human interest climax when a clever little girl swimmer is piloted safely back to shore from a rock on the ocean by a well trained dog. The photography is excellent. - The Moving Picture World, May 30, 1914
