No sooner has he waved her "good-bye" than he meets Jack King. Jack Lewis invites him to come to the ranch. Some days later Jack King receives a letter from his wife, Dora, telling him that she and the baby will surprise him soon with a visit. Jack King puts his wife and the baby's picture on the writing desk, leaves the letter on the table and hurries out. Helen Lewis, a somewhat jealous woman, cuts short her visit and returns while both men are out. She finds both the picture and the letter, which, being addressed to "My dear Jack," makes her suppose that her husband has another wife and baby. Enraged, she rushes to her father's ranch, not far away. He snatches up his shotgun, and together they start for the Lewis ranch. In the meanwhile, Dora King has arrived with the baby. Jack Lewis returns home first and invites her inside. He takes the baby. The baby wants its bottle, and cries so that Jack Lewis is obliged to take it to its mother. As Dora is fixing the bottle and Jack Lewis is sitting on the bed with the baby, Helen Lewis and her father arrive and see the couple. Jack returns to the sitting room with the now quieted baby. Helen and her genitor enter and proceed to demand an explanation. On seeing Jack dancing the baby, they completely lose their heads. Dora, believing them to be lunatics, snatches up her baby, runs back into the bedroom. Helen pounds upon the door, her father menaces Jack with the gun, and Dora hurries to the window and calls for help. Jack King, returning home, hears his wife's voice and rushes to her aid. Explanations are speedily made which soon make everything peaceful. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
