After worrying herself into a fever, the young mother determines to utilize all possible scientific means to bring the infant up to standard. So she studies and experiments until she hits upon a food preparation which she is convinced will make Baby grow. It does. He adds cubit on cubit to his stature before her very eyes. For a few years she is immensely proud of him. At the age of two, he is as tall as a child of ten. At eight, he passes for sixteen. But when, at eighteen, he is nearing the eight-foot mark, the scientific mother begins to wish she had not been so successful. She never had designed her son for a circus career. So she heartily prays that he may stop growing. Wishing "the Boy" to settle down near her, Mrs. Janes picks out for him the right kind of a wife, a stately girl of the grenadier type. But he already has fixed his affections upon a little bit of a woman. The mother tries to prevent the match. The night her boy has planned to elope, Mother Janes is on hand. But her big son picks her up and tosses her onto the roof of the house, kisses her good-bye. and flees with the damsel of his choice. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
