Fooling Uncle
Mr. and Mrs. Brown are childless, and when their uncle, who dotes on children, tells them in a letter that his fortune, which he intended to leave to them, will go to the Home for Indigent Cats unless they do have children, the Browns are in despair. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are visiting the Browns for a weekend, and having a beautiful baby, it was only natural that the Browns should want to borrow the Smiths' baby and pass it off on uncle as their own child. Uncle sent word that he would arrive that day. Of course, Uncle mistakes Mrs. Smith for Mrs. Brown and vice versa, and for a while no one knows who is who, or whose child it is. The tangle is finally straightened out, and uncle is "wised up" to the fact that it was all done for his pleasure. After a little judicious blarney and a few friendly pats on the back by the women, uncle falls for the palaver, and the Browns "cop the kale," and Baby Smith goes back to its own trundle bed.
