Summary

Pathe synopsis: Jimmy Donovan’s idea of a household pet is Suzy, a Himalayan black bear who not only turns a few heads on a Sunday morning stroll across Putney Common but raises a few laughs at the "local". At fifteen months, she is still on the bottle but it’s not milk which causes such comical side-effects.
