midwestern town
on christmas evening, 1909, in a quaint midwestern town, jim dear gives his wife darling an american cocker spaniel puppy that she names lady. lady enjoys a joyful life with the couple and befriends two local neighborhood dogs, jock, a scottish terrier, and trusty, a bloodhound. meanwhile, across town, a stray mutt called the tramp lives on his own, dining on scraps from tony's italian restaurant and protecting his fellow strays peg (a pekingese) and bull (a bulldog) from the local dogcatcher. one day, lady is upset after her owners begin treating her rather coldly. jock and trusty visit her and determine that their change in behavior is due to darling expecting a baby. while jock and trusty try to explain what a baby is, tramp interrupts the conversation and offers his own thoughts on the matter, making jock and trusty take an immediate dislike to the stray and order him out of the yard. as tramp leaves, he reminds lady that "when a baby moves in, a dog moves out."

jock and trusty visit to comfort lady, but when tramp arrives to apologize, lady angrily lashes out at him about his past girlfriends and failure to rescue her from the pound. tramp sadly leaves, but immediately thereafter a rat sneaks into the house. lady sees the rat and barks frantically at it, but aunt sarah tells her to be quiet. tramp hears her barking and rushes back, entering the house and cornering the rat in the nursery. lady breaks free and rushes to the nursery, where tramp inadvertently knocks over the baby's crib before ultimately killing the rat. the commotion alerts aunt sarah, who thinks they harmed the baby. she pushes tramp in a closet and locks lady in the basement, then calls the pound to take tramp away. jim dear and darling return home as the dog catcher departs, and when they release lady, she leads them to the dead rat. overhearing everything, jock and trusty chase after the dog catcher's wagon. the dogs are able to track down the wagon and scare the horses, causing the wagon to crash. jim dear arrives in a taxi with lady, who reunites with tramp, but trusty is injured by the wagon.
