Bobby's uncle leaves him a fortune and the erstwhile chore boy gives a party to his friends. Earl Rodney is also in love with Gloria and conceives a way to deprive Bob of his fortune. The will of the uncle declares that in case a child is born in the house left to Bobby before the tenants move, or before Bobby is of age, then the property shall go to the child. Rodney sees a chance to make it appear that a child has been born and gets permission of the parents to have a child adopted. The mother of the baby is paid to desert the child and run away. Later the father who has deserted her, hears of the child and returns. Bobby is given to understand that the child owns the house. He has trouble with his sweetheart. The baby mysteriously disappears and after many exciting episodes in which the child is nearly drowned, but finally saved by Gloria and Bobby, the real parents appear and claim the baby, while Bobby, again the owner of the house, makes love to Gloria.
