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; they have a beautiful baby and naturally, the Browns want to borrow it and pass it off to Uncle as theirs, and Uncle is arriving 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.
