Tom Winters and May Summers marry and remove to the city. They are joined later by Jerry Summers, who marries Miss June Fall a year later. On the wedding day Jerry joyfully telegraphs his mother that she has a new daughter. On the same day, Tom telegraphs his mother, announcing the arrival of a new baby. The telegrams arrive together, and are misdirected by the local operator. Mrs. Winter receives Mrs. Summer's telegram, and vice versa. The horrified mothers at once set out for the city, where, after an amusing scene, everything is explained.
