[2] A further production was staged at the Empire Theatre, Sheffield, at Christmas 1920, with Daisy Burrell reprising the role of Mollie Maybud.
[3] The young Dr Randall and his bride were on their honeymoon in Brighton in 1894 when they found a baby boy abandoned on their bed, so adopted him and brought him up.
Dick has a series of adventures in his search: he believes Mollie Maybud, a cabaret singer, is his sister, but she turns out to be a girlfriend of Colonel Bunting.
Dick saves Alice Hawkins from marrying Bradbury Bitters, as she is in love with Jack Foster; he then believes Alice's aunt, another Mrs Bunting, is his mother, as she had lost a “little one” in the same hotel, but this turns out to have been a pet monkey.
Finally, Dr Randall produces a document which the Bunting family accept as giving Dick a respectable background.
