Baby's Adventures (1912)
Mr. and Mrs. Smith live in Harlem. Their six months' old baby boy is a joy to their lives. One morning the fond mother after rocking him to sleep orders the maid to put him in his crib for his morning nap. The maid hears the call of a baker's boy, with whom she is in love. She places the baby in a half-filled clothes basket and runs out to meet her sweetheart. A gust of wind from the open window blows the table cloth over the basket hiding the sleeping child. The colored woman who does the washing for them, calls in the meantime for the week's wash. Bedelia, the cook, seeing the partially filled basket, places the balance of the clothes on top of the sleeping child. The washer-woman takes the basket and departs. The maid returns, misses the basket and informs the parents, and then begins a chase for the recovery of baby. The baker's wagon is brought into service. The washer-woman takes a streetcar. The distracted father and the maid reach the ferry just too late to catch it. The washer-woman lives in Jersey so the chase continues. After a series of adventures the father arrives just in time to prevent the washer-woman from dumping the contents of the basket into a huge pot of boiling water. Happy in the possession of his child the proud father starts back to Harlem and his distracted wife. While plodding wearily back to the streetcar he meets an acquaintance who offers him the use of his baby's buggy. On their way they pass near the Palisades. Curiosity leads them to the edge and while they stand admiring the beautiful sight, a strong wind sets the buggy agoing, and before the party turn around it is too late. The carriage with the baby has descended a sheer drop of two hundred feet. Again the baby is lucky. A friendly tree breaks the fall, leaving the baby uninjured. A long rope is secured. A man volunteers to descend and he is lowered down over the cliff to the final rescue of this adventurous baby.
