The rich uncle announces he is coming to see the young couple's son. Inasmuch as they haven't any son it is essential that they obtain one, and that quick. Accordingly they borrow one, but when it arrives the horror can be imagined when it is discovered that it is a colored baby. That difficulty is straightened out and the young people succeed in securing a white baby. Then things go smoothly until the real father of the child appears and demands its return. That produces a complication which is left to the imagination. The play is lively and the characters perform their parts with a good deal of discretion. The consternation of the young people is well simulated and the manager who puts this on the screen can feel assured of hearty laughs from his audience. - The Moving Picture World, December 10, 1910
