In a shack in another part of town, happily dwells Mrs. Green and her husband. Although they live in the poorer part of town, they are happy in the possession of a baby pickaninny. Mr. Green works in a livery stable and his wife, to help out with the family income, takes in washing. Unable to do her work with the baby squalling, she has a little colored girl take the baby out for a walk. Doris, the little girl of the Gordons, secures permission to take her dolly out for an outing and meets the colored child with baby Green. The little coon admires Doris' doll and the two exchange babies. Doris takes the coon baby home and puts it in bed beside the other baby, while the little negro returns with the doll. Mrs. Green misses her baby and goes on the warpath looking for it. Mrs. Green finds the negro child with her own and almost has hysterics. The little negro girl asks Doris to give her a baby back, and Doris trades her baby sister for the doll, thus complicating matters. When Mrs. Gordon finds her baby gone and the negro child in possession of the bed, she frantically calls for her husband to hurry home as someone has stolen their child. Mrs. Green meanwhile gets her husband and they search for their child. Eventually the two searching parties come together and learn of the various transactions in baby trading. Explanations follow and each mother is happy in the possession of her rightful child. As the story ends, both Doris and the little negro girl get the punishment for their reckless trading "on the curb." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
