Babe is in despair, but learning that Kate is planning a big reception in honor of Count Brekski, to whom she hopes to marry Florence, Babe has his friends kidnap Kate and with the help of Florence and the maid, dresses up in Kate's clothes and receives the guests. What Babe does to the guests and the Count in particular, is a shame, and although the money looks over-inviting to the Count, nevertheless the wallops handed to him by the supposed mother, takes away all the ardor of the poor Count. Kate, meanwhile, is putting up the battle of her life with the kidnappers, but finally they subdue her and bind her securely. Babe appears on the scene, and after pretending a wonderful fight, succeeds in releasing Kate, and bringing her home. The grateful mother decides that our hero, even if he is fat and of humble birth, is good enough for her as a son-in-law. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
