- In a tenement boarding-house, a lonely confirmed bachelor occupies a room across the hall from a dour spinster. Children run amok in the hallways playing pranks. Believing that the bachelor perpetrated one particular prank, the spinster woman enters his room to confront him, followed by a neighbor child. Meanwhile, the other children have stolen a scarlet-fever-quarantine sign and posted it on the bachelor's door. The police, unaware that the sign is a prank, enforce the confinement. But aided by the sweet disposition of the toddler quarantined with them, the icy relations between spinster and bachelor begin to thaw, . . .—Thomas McWilliams <tgm@netcom.com>
- The little one is playing with her doll while her mother lies sick. The poor woman dies, and the child, thinking her asleep, goes downstairs in search of a playmate. First she visits an austere old maid, and her artlessness soon melts the woman's coldness. NExt she goes across the hall to a crabbed old bachelor and affects him in the same way. The old maid misses one of her hair puffs and goes after the child, thinking she took it. While she is in the bachelor's room talking to the child, several tenement-house youngsters steal a "scarlet-fever" notice and stick it on the bachelor's door. This quarantines the three until the health officer appears and releases them. They then take the child to find her mother and and horrified to find her dead. As each wants to take the child, they end the argument most logically: A wedding results.—Moving Picture World synopsis
