Plot
[edit]When Eleanor Pierce is arrested for selling homemade candy without a license, she sends a letter to "Mr. Smith" at the Bachelor's Club asking him to take care of "their" daughter. The Smith brothers, Joseph and George, accuse their brother Edward of being the father of the child, but they all show up at Eleanor's apartment to take charge of Sandy. Eleanor is released on her own recognizance and returns to claim her daughter, but when she sees the good care Sandy is receiving from her new "uncles" she decides Sandy might be better off with them. The brothers hire Eleanor as Sandy's nursemaid, and Edward Smith immediately falls for Eleanor, who eventually reveals that she is Sandy's mother. Edward and Eleanor sneak off, taking Sandy with them.
