Twins and Trouble (1914)
The twins constituted the chief treasure of Betty's and Bob's household. An intense rivalry, however, existed between the grandparents, and a climax was reached when the Major and his wife visited the young couple and found the Colonel and his wife in full possession of the two children. An altercation between the grandparents quickly developed into an open quarrel, ending in an estrangement between the young couple, and Betty and her parents left the house with one of the twins, while Bob and his parents remained in possession of the other one. After the first flash of anger, both Bob and Betty regretted their actions, and the quarrel would have been smoothed over had it not been for the two old soldiers, who each declared war and started off with the avowed intention of capturing the other baby. Meanwhile, Maggie and Bridget took the twins out for an airing, and extra complications were added when Maggie discovered Bridget and Terry spooning together on a park bench. Comparing notes, the girls discovered that Terry had been making love to both of them. Enraged, they left their charges upon the bench and proceeded to chase the fleeing Terry. The children were found by a passing washerwoman. The nurse girls returned from their chase and punishment of Terry to find their charges gone. Frantic, they ran home with the news. While all of this was happening, the Colonel and the Major had managed to land themselves in the Police Station and were in the midst of an explanation to the Sergeant when the washerwoman entered with the twins. The humor of the situation striking both of the old soldiers, they started off home, each carrying one of the children. Bob and Betty, reunited by the horror of their supposed loss, were at the latter's home, and great was the rejoicing when the two grandfathers arrived with their charges.
