Not long afterward a boy is born and the father is overjoyed at the prospect of the small fortune that is coming to him. Seeing all this fuss made over her baby brother, the daughter of the family becomes jealous and hides him in the doghouse. The newspapers carry a story of a mysterious kidnapper, and when Ms. Emory reads it and discovers that her child is missing, she starts a mad search. At the railroad station Swain sees a veiled woman hand a baby to a stranger, snatches the child, and goes home to place it in a crib before Uncle arrives. The stranger, who proves to be Uncle, reaches the house in hot pursuit, followed by the woman. They look in the crib and see a Black baby, the janitor's wife's child. When all seems lost, a note written by the unhappy big sister is found, admitting that she hid her baby brother in the doghouse. As all rush into the yard, the dog chained to the house has started after another dog, dragging the structure behind him. The dogs dash down the railroad track with the pursuers following on handcars, a locomotive, and a train. When the chase ends no baby is to be found. Returning home in despair, Swain finds his offspring in the yard, Uncle writes the check, and the picture ends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
