He and his fiancée have discussed all sorts of plans for a honeymoon trip and have finally decided upon the automobile honeymoon as the very smartest and most fashionable. The day of the wedding arrives and after much merry-making the happy couple prepare to start on their long trip. We leave them here for a moment to a view of the grayer side of life. A young widow with an infant is forced out of her rooms in a dreary tenement building by an over-bearing, heartless landlord, and after stumbling about the city streets all day in search of lodgings and a little human sympathy, falls exhausted and heart-broken on the curb in front of the Martin residence. She sees the auto and a happy thought comes to her. She stows the baby into the tonneau of the car and turns away just as Harry and his bride, followed by the little crowd of wedding guests, descend the steps of the fashionable mansion, enter the car and speed out of view. Suddenly the wedding guests discover the poor widow, who has suddenly struggled to her feet and tottered after the car, crying weakly. She is surrounded by the sympathetic wedding guests, a doctor is called and she is carried into the house. Later she is sent to the hospital and put under the care of skilled physicians, but her continued wailing for her baby sets the hospital authorities to investigating. We return to Harry and his bride on the country road when they discover the babe. They are greatly surprised, of course, in finding the uninvited, helpless little passenger, but out of their goodness of heart, resolve to adopt the little one into the family. Later in the day they arrive at a country inn. The news of their wedding which occurred at twelve o'clock had preceded them and when the two, with the baby, enter and register, engaging rooms for the night, the landlord looks at the baby and at the clock, utterly unable to understand. He is finally satisfied that something is wrong and for want of a better question or from sheer force of habit demands that Harry show his marriage certificate. Harry and his wife leave the place, resolved to finish the ride to their parents' country home, where they are intend to sojourn for a short time. The next morning the morning's paper makes a rather witty statement, "Harry Martin, Western agent of the Mercury Car, is trying for the speed record. He was married in Chicago yesterday at 12:30 and started in his new six-cylinder car for an auto honeymoon. At 5 p.m., same day, he turned up in Waverly, Wisconsin, with a bride and a 12-pound baby. This is speeding some even for Harry." The unfortunate widow, after the fever has subsided, tells the head physician, who is Harry's father-in-law, about the baby and clears up the mystery of the ownership of the infant. The next day the baby is returned to her and she, now sufficiently well to stand the journey, returns with Harry and his wife to their beautiful Wisconsin home. Two years later we have another glimpse of Harry, back at the old country home. The scene is preceded by the humorous title: "Harry is still speeding. Oh, you Auto!" Can you guess? Yes, Harry has twins of his own. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
