The new drug clerk watches the store while the proprietor is getting married. When the husband takes his bride to their new home, he received a letter from the rich uncle, who says he is coming to see the five-year-old boy. The maid coaxes the drug clerk into assuming the role, and, dressed as a baby, he makes quite a hit with the rich uncle. The husband bribes a fruit peddler to kidnap the baby and write a letter demanding $5,000. The uncle gives the $5,000, but the husband gets it back and thus makes the uncle proud of him. The uncle wills him all his money.
