Boyd Marshall was in just such a predicament. Years before he had needed money badly, and had worked on his kindly uncle's sympathy by writing him that he was about to be married and then later on when the same emergency arose that had confronted him before he wrote uncle that he was the father of a bouncing boy whom he had named in honor of said uncle. Uncle was very generous and sent almost monthly remembrances to his imaginary kin. Then Boyd received a letter one day from uncle, saying that he was called to New York on business and would make his headquarters with his nephew and make the acquaintance of the favorite nephew's wife and his young namesake. In the emergency Boyd hires an actress and a newsboy to impersonate his family and though they succeed in pulling the wool over doting uncle's eyes you cannot help but feel when you have seen the picture that it couldn't have turned out in any better way.
