Not that his parents purposely neglected him, but of course, the new baby claimed most of their attention. When Bob played noisily, he was warned not to wake the baby and was made to play far from the house. Expecting sympathy, he tells his playmate, Hilda, about the new arrival. Hilda's maternal instinct was aroused and, much to Bobbie's disgust, when she is taken to see the baby fondles it with great delight. Hilda as the proud possessor of a child's auto. So later when Bobbie offers to give her 25 cents and his baby for the auto, she gladly accepts his offer. Unseen, Bobbie manages to take the baby from the house and the trade is made. Mr. and Mrs. Sands are frantic when they discover the baby gone, and Sands hurries out to inform the police. Mr. and Mrs. Crane are also the parents of a new baby, and Crane is so joyous that when the doctor presents his bill he gladly pays it, although it leaves him with only one dollar in the world. He tells his wife to make the money go as far as possible. Mrs. Crane buys some potatoes from a peddler, who gives her a quarter with other change for the dollar. She puts the money carelessly on the table, then with the baby on her lap starts to peel the potatoes. The baby shows distress, and Mrs. Crane, seeing that the quarter is missing, thinks the baby has swallowed it. She hastily wraps the baby in a white shawl and sends her husband with it on the run to the doctor. Mr. Sands, on his way to the police station, sees Crane running with a baby. As his baby also had on a white shawl, he takes Crane for a kidnapper, takes the baby from him and beats him up, As Sands is on his way home with the wrong baby, Hilda, who has the baby with her and has been spending her money in the candy shop, comes out of the shop and puts the baby on the stoop while she opens the bag of candy. Crane, in pursuit of Sands, sees the baby in the white shawl on the steps and, thinking it is his own child, hurries with it to the doctor. Mrs. Crane finds the missing quarter and hurries to the doctor to prevent an operation. She arrives in time, but faints as she is presented with the wrong child. Mrs. Sands' joy turns to sorrow when her husband presents her with the wrong baby. She is hysterical and Sands 'phones for the doctor. A few explanations and the doctor understands how the mix-up occurred. He soon straightens out matters and everyone is happy except Bobbie, who expects to be punished for his misdeed, but his parents realize that he is only a boy and resolve in the future to treat him with a little more consideration.
