Ray is in love with the mother, and has never seen the daughter. He brings her a rattle to present to her. Baby sees the presentation and is angry. She hears her mother telling Ray that she is just eight years old, but in reality she is nearly eighteen. Ray urges the mother to marry him the day after Christmas, The night before Christmas, Ray and her mother fill Baby's stocking, but Baby finds it very hard to be pleased with childish presents any longer. At the Christmas tree Ray meets Baby for the first time. There are plenty of children at the party, but Baby cannot play with them. She can think only of the marriage of her mother and Ray on the morrow. Preparations for the wedding go on. Mother puts on plenty of paint to hide the wrinkles. Ray arrives at the house and Baby meets him. She confesses that she is eighteen, not eight. They understand each other very well. The minister arrives, and Ray tells Baby to put on her mother's hat and cloak and marry him. They drive away in Ray's machine before Mother discovers that she has lost her bridegroom.
