He has a comely granddaughter, aged 20, whose gaiety of disposition causes the old gentleman some apprehension. She has a sweetheart, Jim Weston, but when she shows Grandpa her ring and announces her engagement, he not only refuses to shake hands with the young man, but reduces his voice from quivering falsetto to the deep diapason note of displeasure. Then he goes on playing with Bobby as though nothing had happened. Bobby, however, sees through the window the waiting automobile of Jim and decides that the out-of-doors is for him. He rushes out, begs for a ride, but is refused. Undaunted by this, and unnoticed by Jim, he climbs onto the rear of the machine, and as the driver is not particular about speed laws, Bobby has to cling on for dear life. Finally he is jarred off, and is discovered in the street, injured and unconscious. A "cop'" and several other Samaritans rush in and pick up the injured one, with expressions of amazement, and one man points down the street towards the whirling auto, the driver of which knows nothing of his lost passenger. Jim, however, happens to come back that way, and is shocked and horrified to see the policeman carrying Bobby, whom he recognizes. He explains to him that he will take care of him, takes the child in his auto and carries him swiftly to his own home, a fashionable bachelor apartment. He dispatches his man at once for a doctor, then phones Bess. She, in turn, breaks the news to Grandpa Eaton, who makes his way to Jim's apartment and endeavors to carry the injured child from the sick-room. The doctor interferes at this point, but presently Bobby regains his wits, begins to mend, and exonerates Jim from the blame that his Grandpa has placed upon him. This results in restored happiness all around. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
