A Baby Did It (1914)
A bachelor and a widow with a baby are living in the same hotel. The bachelor is engaged to a girl in the same town and he is preparing to visit her, when the widow's stay at the hotel is about to terminate. The bachelor's auto is in front of the hotel and the widow's is just ahead of it. The widow sends her maid to the auto with the baby. The maid remembers she has lost one of the baby's shoes, so she carefully lays the baby in the bachelor's auto and returns to find the shoe. The bachelor is late for his appointment, rushes out and jumps into the front seat of his machine with the driver, without noticing the baby in the rear. The widow comes out and finds the auto gone. Thinking someone has stolen her baby, she calls the police. In the meantime the bachelor reaches his fiancée's home. As she steps into the car she notices the baby, accuses him of a double life, and breaks the engagement. The bachelor returns to the hotel and sneaks to his room with the baby. The maid enters, observes the child and accuses him of stealing it. He bribes her to bring it a bottle. The widow and police return to the hotel and the maid hearing their conversation, informs them that a man has a baby upstairs. They all go up, and through the keyhole discover the bachelor in the act of feeding the baby. The widow and police rush in. He tells them of finding the baby in his auto. Then the maid explains her mistake. The picture fades with the bachelor admiring the baby and also the widow.
