To make matters worse Ethel's mother and Edwin's rich uncle both send word that they are coming to visit. Edwin and Ethel plan to make a bluff at prosperity. While Edwin watches, Ethel "picks up" a young chauffeur and while he and she are at a soda fountain, Edwin steals the car and meets his uncle and mother-in-law. Later to arouse his uncle's interest Edwin rigs up a rag baby as his son. He then takes a real baby from a baby incubator and makes the substitution before the uncle discovers the deception. The next question that confronts the young couple is how to provide a Thanksgiving dinner. Edwin thinks he has solved the problem by pawning his suit and buying a turkey, but when he returns home he finds his wife has pawned his only other suit and likewise bought a turkey. To make matters worse when they find there are two turkeys, they each give one away, unknown to the other and they again face a turkeyless Thanksgiving. They make the best of matters and try to bluff their way through with what they have, but they are just starting their dinner when the manager of the baby incubator enters with a policeman and places Edwin under arrest. The uncle and mother-in-law both refuse assistance and Edwin is led away to a Thanksgiving dinner in jail. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
