She laughs at the idea. At the same time Carl receives word that his cousin Marie is in town, her husband being ill in a hospital. He calls, and finding Marie and her five small children just starting for the park, accompanies them. On the way Marie runs into the hospital for a moment. Carl goes on to the park with the children, and a trained nurse brings word that Marie's husband is worse and that Carl will have to amuse the children. She also brings a nursing bottle for the baby. Carl is aghast. He knows nothing about the children and distractedly counts and recounts them, afraid he will lose one. His agitation greatly amuses two passing urchins. They mischievously mingle with the children and Carl's next two counts show an increase in his family. He takes them to his apartment. He excitedly telephones the hospital that someone must come for the children. Evening arrives, also some dinner guests, Dorothy among them. The children are locked in a bedroom with Carl's man, Perkins, who is commanded to keep them quiet if he has to bind and gag them. Marie arrives while the guests are at the supper table and makes such a fuss that Perkins gags her too, but not until she has managed to shriek frantically for help. The startled guests rush to the bedroom and are horrified at the sight that confronts them. Carl finally succeeds in explaining the situation. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
