His heart touched, he decides to adopt the child. On his way to the office the baby makes him buy out a toy store. He places the infant in the care of the janitor and is bawled out by the manager when he gets in late. The baby gets into the office and he hides it in a desk drawer where the little one upsets a can of glue. The boss discovers it and fires Neely, who is alarmed when he reaches the street and reads a kidnapping case headline in the paper. He is followed by a cop who suspects him. He increases his speed until finally he starts off on the run with the cop at his heels. Suddenly he stops at a baby show where he enters the infant at the last minute, explaining his haste and winning a thousand dollars. His boss and the stenographer are there to congratulate him, also the child's mother, who takes the babe from his arms and then surprises him by having the boss arrested for deserting her and the child, and running off with a Denver blonde. With the thousand dollar prize, Neely and the steno are all set for the honeymoon. Written by
