A Rag Baby (1917)
When Tony Gay arrived at his sister's house he saw sister's husband fleeing with the child. His sister explained that her husband became peeved because she had caught him kissing the cook and had gone away. Sister urges brother to get on the trail. Just as Tony Gay enters the drug dispensary, the owner receives a letter that the place will be hoisted by a bomb at ten o'clock sharp that night unless ten thousand dollars are left down by the old mill. Tony Gay asks if the druggist desires to sell the store and receives a reply in the affirmative. Tony Gay plots to run the place and give brother-in-law a dose that will keep him under the covers until he, Tony, collars the baby. Old Sport, the dauntless athlete, training for a battle with Dusty Bob, the Husky Hitter, is hired as drug clerk. Before any prescriptions are filled the two try them out on the dog with ill effects to the dog. Old Sport shows his skill in dispensing soda-water, but tries to disappear when Dusty Bob, his ancient enemy, appears with blood in his eye. However, Old Sport is victorious. During the melee, a dog placed in a sweat bath is forgotten and emerges in a shrunken condition. Searching for the lost baby, Tony Gay and Old Sport are mistaken for burglars in a girls' boarding school. In the melee, Tony Gay's sister appears, recognizes him, and is delighted when Old Sport hands over a Rag Baby, which has caused all the misunderstanding.
