Playmates (1921)

Betty leaves the child at the County Orphan Asylum while she delivers the weekly laundry to the bachelor's home. But the kid escapes and slides down a chute from the second story landing in the basket which Betty is dragging along behind her. At the bachelor's the baby is turned over to Brownie, the valet, who gives the baby a bath, filling the small tub with water and placing a screen around the outdoor bathroom. Later the baby roams out into the street where she is picked up by an officer. Brownie saves his little playmate as the baby is about to be placed in the wagon and taken to the Children's Society Home, by substituting another baby who looks like his pal. Betty and the bachelor find Brownie coming down the street with the baby. The child says that she wants the man for a a daddy, and with Brownie tugging at his trousers' leg and the baby 'pulling "at his coat lapel, he could hardly resist, and the baby's wish is granted.
