Plot

In "The Baby Cyclone," the title refers not to a child, but to a mischievous little Pekingese dog whose presence wreaks havoc on relationships, homes, and tempers. The story begins when Joe Meadows (played by Lew Cody), a smooth-talking office worker, gives away the dog to Jessie Hurley (played by Gwen Lee), a woman he meets through a neighboring office window. Jessie instantly falls in love with the dog and brings it home to her husband, Gene Hurley (played by Robert Armstrong), as a surprise. Gene, however, is horrified by the yapping little creature and cannot believe Jessie considers the shaggy menace a household pet.
