Tweedledum, wishing to surprise his wife by coming into her room suddenly, assures himself that she is there by looking through the keyhole. He sees her showering her attentions on "her child" and is filled with rage. Angry suspicion takes hold of him and losing all reason he bursts into the room, shakes his wife abominably, drags the child from her arms and throws it to the ground. A doll is naturally not used to such rough treatment and proceeds to come apart. Tweedledum, realizing that he has done something awful, bursts from the loom, leaving his wife in tears and rushes to the police station, almost beside himself in fear of the consequences of his rash act. The police take him back to the scene of his crime, and after letting him suffer for a short time, the true situation is exposed to him and the happy family is reunited. Written by
