She leaves the baby in a basket and the scene fades out with the people leaving the church and paying no attention to the "Orphan." The scene fades back as a title indicates that twenty-five years have passed and the baby, now grown to manhood, still occupies the basket and the church-goers are still passing him by unnoticed. A policeman tells him that he has been there long enough and to move on, which he does. He sees a bed for sale in front of a furniture store and lies down there, but cannot be comfortable, he has grown so used to the basket. Finding a basket of clothes a Chinaman has left and crawls in, and the Chinaman takes him back to his laundry where he makes him work. The Chinaman has also adopted an orphan white girl and of course she and Bobby fall in love with each other. After many adventures when Bobby upsets the plans of the villain who also wishes to marry the girl, all ends happily.Written by
