Synopsis
Baby Peggy is an only child. Her mother has not heard from her husband in months; he has been reported lost at sea. Peggy, dressed up as a messenger boy, ekes a meager living for the family. Peg is sent to deliver a message to a family high up on the hills and, after walking about three thousand steps to the people's house, Peg delivers the wire. While there they learn Peggy is their grandchild and send for her mother. Peggy is up to all kinds of mischief - she invites all the messenger boys to the swimming pool; chases the butler all over the place. Meanwhile a bogus count is making love to Peggy's mother, urged on by the wealthy parents-in-law. The father, saved at sea, returns home to find his family gone. He learns where they are and arrives just as Peggy is getting a sound spanking, and the bogus count is trying to kiss his wife. Everything is settled, and the family is reunited once again.
