Wedd and his partner in failure, Darby Jenks, once more greet you in another of their death-defying escapades. Darby has added a new beauty to his list of conquests, but when he tells Wood B. about her, all he gets is the merry ha-ha. However, when he produces her picture Wedd seeks an introduction, and Darby fixes it up so well that Wedd cuts him out entirely. Such is life, for Wedd is all ready for the ceremony, which he believes about to take place. He makes a date with Lottie, the blonde beauty in question, but cruel fate is on his trail, for, while on his way with Darby to meet her and her chum, a mother seeking a lost baby-cart leaves a baby in Wedd's arms, despite his protests. Lottie and her chum appear, and by a stroke of fortune, the child is shifted to Darby, and his girl, Lottie's chum, and Wedd is safe for a while. Her frantic mother screams for her missing nuisance, and starts a general uproar and search for it. Wedd leads his intended better half into the park, where he places the oft-used ring on her finger. His moment of bliss is interrupted by the mother, who discovers him and immediately pounces on him Lottie faints; they all faint, and to make a long story short, Wedd gets his ring back, and a whole lot more.
