Jane, a down-and-out poor widow, is walking the streets with her baby in her arms and notices Neal coming out of his house; his kind face inspires her to leave her baby in his care. He arrives home about 1AM and finds the baby on his steps. He takes it inside and tucks it into his own bed. The next morning, the effects of wine gone, he is dumbfounded to find the baby in his bed. While he's discussing this with his valet, his fiancée Ethel phones him. The baby starts to cry; hearing the noise, Ethel asks about it. Neal starts to say that he has a baby and Ethel becomes angry and hangs up without letting him explain. He rushes to her home, but she will listen to nothing and even breaks their engagement. Neal and his valet attempt to take care of the baby, but it is a difficult job. Neal decides to get married. After an attempt with Clarice has failed, he realizes that under the circumstances, he must use diplomacy to win a wife. Sitting in the park with Baby, Neal sees a peach coming towards him and he pretends to cry. The peach proves to be kind-hearted, beautiful Betty. She looks at Neal in sympathy, approaches him, and speaks to him. Neal explains that the baby's mother has gone. Betty assumes that Neal is a widower and his baby needs a mother. They soon become interested in each other and in a short while Betty agrees to marry him. They go to Neal's home and call a minister. Meanwhile, however, Jane has won $500 in a lottery and she makes a wild dash to Neal's to claim her baby. At first poor Betty is all upset, but she listens to Neal's explanations and forgives his deception. Ethel happens to see Jane and Baby coming out of Neal's; when Jane tells the story, Ethel decides to ask forgiveness of Neal, but it's too late: Betty has supplanted her for all time.
