With the baby in its buggy, she goes to the park. A chauffeur tempts her to take a short ride. Baby has fallen asleep, and so she decides to leave it for a short time. The parkway being on a steep slope she secures the buggy by placing a stone under the front wheel before she rides away with the chauffeur. An intoxicated man passes the buggy a little later, and by brushing against it sets it free and it plunges down the slope of the parkway, over the curb and into the street below. The baby is thrown out and stunned by its fall. When the nurse returns and finds the baby, apparently dead at the bottom of the parkway, she becomes terrorized and conceals the senseless form in a box-car, while she flees to escape the judge's wrath. Tom and Jerry, two hobos who have stowed themselves in the same box-car, awaken at the same time the baby revives. They are scared at being found with a baby on their hands. They decide, however, not to abandon the little waif, and its care gets the tramps into many amusing complexities. In order to give the baby a home they go to work and settle down. They learn some years later of the child's parents and sadly decide to return the little girl to them. As a reward the two tramps are given life-long jobs by the delighted parents.
