She promises to marry him, provided he will always love her and her "little darling," at present at school. They are married. Balsam never suspecting that "little darling" was a cherub weighing two hundred pounds. Later, after the child, so-called, insisted on calling Balsam Papa and sitting on his lap, she is sent back to boarding school. Her mother dies, and Balsam, after the period of mourning is over, decides to take unto himself another wife. He courts the pretty Myrtle Minx, and his suit is successful. They are married. Balsam, of course, neglecting to mention "little darling." Unexpectedly, she pays her father a visit, just as Myrtle's father is visiting them. Balsam is in a quandary. He hides the cherub in another room and she falls asleep. Myrtle insists that she hears a noise in the other room, it being the snoring of the big girl, but Balsam lies out of it. The deception is continued for a while until Myrtle's pet dog jumps on the cherub's shoulder, causing her to awaken and let out a horrifying scream. She, of course, is discovered and Myrtle insists that the woman is not Balsam's aunt, as he lyingly contends. She rushes from the room, and Balsam follows her. Myrtle's father stays with "little darling" and they fall in love. They go away and get married. Returning, they inform the still fighting couple of what has happened, and when "little darling" informs Myrtle that she is her step-mother, as well as her step-daughter, all are in a state of collapse.
