The Boycotted Baby is a 1917 American silent comedy film directed by and starring Oliver Hardy.[1]
Plot
Babe (Oliver Hardy) and Kate (Kate Price) are sweethearts. They live in the rather conservative town of Cordeliaville where there are laws which prohibit both romancing and babies. A new mother arrives in Cordeliaville and notices the sign. Rather than leaving town, the mother leaves her baby... at Kate's doorstep. Kate and Babe try to hide the baby which, in turn, gets passed from person to person until it is reunited with the mother. "The humor is too suggestive at times," noted The Moving Picture World.[2]
