Plot[]

A farmer and his daughter (Mabel Normand) are in the barn. She is saying she wishes the cow would have a calf. Left alone in the house she hears strangers in the barn and calls the police. She barricades herself in. Her parents return and have to break the door down. She thinks it is the robbers. Meanwhile, a smokey car brings the police (the Keystone Cops). After misunderstandings are resolved they find a new-born calf in the barn.
