The boy has a camera and snaps Sweedie, the cook, while sitting on the bench in the back yard. Later he takes a picture of his father while sitting on the same bench. He forgets to turn the film in his camera, so gets a double exposure, giving the effect of Sweedie sitting on his father's lap. The young rascal shows the picture to his mother. She proceeds to upbraid her hubby, who is unable to explain himself. He does not recollect sitting on Sweedie's lap. After causing a fight between his parents, the kid shows the freak picture to the ice man and milkman, who are fighting for the hand of Sweedie. They both start in search of their supposed rival, and naturally wipe the floor with him when he comes in.

    This is a real funny comedy that causes almost continuous laughter. A kid takes a picture of Sweedie sitting on a bench; he takes one of his father sitting on the same bench, forgetting to turn the film. The double exposure gives the effect of Sweedie sitting on his father's lap. He shows it to his mother; things happen to father. He shows it to the iceman and the milkman who are rivals for Sweedie's affection. Imagine the result. - The Moving Picture World, August 29, 1914
