Olive and her sweetheart leave school. Olive's mother, giving her some bread and jam, makes her mind the baby on the porch. Her sweetheart comes for her. They go away and leave the baby. They play around the corner and the baby creeps away. She makes the acquaintance of a bulldog and creeps on toward a cliff on top of which she sits and plays. The mother, now anxious, discovers that the baby is missing. She arouses the neighbors to help her look for the child. The dog meantime decides he wants some jam. He runs on to the baby, and she now follows him off to the base of a tree. After feeding him with more jam she falls asleep. The mother, finding the shoe which the baby left on top of the cliff, imagines she has fallen over. The neighbors help her climb down the cliff. After a series of mishaps, they discover the child.
