Warning: Spoilers
During the first minutes of this Harold Lloyd as the boy and Mildred Davis as the girl short film there's an animated scene and now Lloyd's character and Davis' character are husband and wife. A year after we watch the couple with their baby who turns to be just their little bottle of liquor! Just the same day the boy accepts to do a favor to his brother-in-law, it is a normal favor that seems to be quite easy and according to the bother-in-law his 4-year-old son is a saint so the boy will not even notice his presence and neither the presence of the baby. So the boy and his wife will look after these two infants and the problems begin quite soon, when the boy is still alone with the two infants, thanks to the 4-year-old kid who is just a destroyer. So is kind of a simple patron, the boy and his wife wants to keep calm the baby but they really can't leave alone one single minute the 4-year-old kid!

We enjoy very funny moments, the kid is not a likable character but that's funny for us however and of course not very funny for the boy. And if these two infants were not enough to make a very problematic day for the boy the possibility that a burglar is in the neighborhood will make the night even more difficult so a little funnier for us.

There are two particular moments that I really loved; one is during the day and after the boy had some very funny problems when he tried to prepare a feeding bottle for the baby. Is when the boy finally can make the feeding bottle but without any liquid just with some white paint! And the other moment that I loved happens during the night. The boy thinks that the burglar is inside the house and he thinks that a balloon is the burglar so he "attacks" but after that the balloon sticks in the back of the boy so he can't see that but he feels that. Later the boy feels something in his head, it is a statue and the point of it is touching the head of the boy but the boy thinks that the burglar's gun is the thing that is touching him and suddenly the balloon exploits, the sound makes the boy think that the burglar has shoot him and he falls like dead!!! Finally, this one is just a good short film.
