Mrs. Briggs is the proud mother of a lusty infant. Little Dorothy, aged nine, is in a quandary and appeals to the nurse for enlightenment, but is told to run away and play. The nurse turns her over to the maid, but that sedate young woman is not communicative. Dorothy is persistent and is finally allowed to accompany the maid to the railroad station, where a telegram is sent to Briggs, informing him that he is the father of a baby. It is all pretty clear to Dorothy and she wanders about the grounds only to discover that a mother cat has two beautiful young kittens. Dorothy has an inspiration. She goes to the station and coaxes an employee to send a telegram to her papa, the import of which is that two additional babies have arrived. Briggs receives the first telegram at his hotel in a distant town and is overjoyed. He proudly shows the wire to his brother knights of the road and receives their congratulations. He prepares to hasten home and is about to leave the hostelry when the second telegram comes and he deduces that he is the father of triplets, and his ardor is somewhat cooled. He is forced to show the message to his companions and is guyed unmercifully. Arriving at home he approaches the chamber of his wife with misgivings. Entering he is shown the child in its cradle and mustering up courage he inquires about the other two. The nurse is mystified and denies all knowledge of any other babies. Dorothy makes her appearance with the two baby kittens and the matter is explained to his relief and satisfaction. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
