Synopsis

Played with the asides and intensity inherent to the genre.

A riotous evening for actors and audience.

There's gloom in the Follansbee mansion since Rachel's grandchild disappeared.

She's inconsolable.

Then Faith Hopewell staggers in-- babe in arms-- and stays on as a maid.

Rachel doesn't want to see another baby-- so Faith hides the child.

Jimmy, the delivery boy, falls in love with Faith and Longfellow, the villain, tries kidnapping the child.

He's foiled by Faith-- Jimmy's revealed as the missing son in law-- the baby to be the family heir-- and the villain gets amnesia and is sent to the Salvation Army to do good works.
