He was an ice cream maker and when the Lady Bountiful of the village takes all the kiddies for an outing he is commissioned to supply the ice cream. While making the cream he is seized with a violent toothache and sends to his druggist friend for some laudanum to ease the pain. When the children get to the grove they become impatient for the ice cream, so Lady Bountiful goes to the nearest telephone to hurry it up. This and several other things flurry Daddy and in his haste and excitement be pours the laudanum into the ice cream instead of extract. When he makes the discovery the cream is on its way, and the effort to intercept it or keep the children from eating it is most exciting. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
