Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? While the nurse is coquetting with her sweetheart, Baby Rosanna wanders off and meets the burglar. She plays with him, ruffles his hair, and gives him her cookies, and it is with genuine regret that he parts from her when the frantic nurse finds her. That night the burglar breaks into Rosanna’s home through her bedroom window. She awakens and recognizes him in the moonlight. He is quickly gathering up the silverware when Rosanna runs to him and wants to renew the morning’s play. She soon falls asleep in his arms, and the soft little burden awakens in him tender memories of his tiny sister of years past. Gently he carries her to her little bed, softly kisses her, and with tears streaming down his face exits without his plunder.
