Short description

Cass Brown is about to marry for the second time. His first marriage, to Isabel, was annulled. But when he discovers that Isabel has just had their baby, Cass kidnaps the infant to keep her from being adopted. Isabel's parents hunt for the child and discover that Cass and Isabel are still hopelessly in love.

What's left behind the scenes

The filmmakers hired 26 infants, who were paid $75 per filming day. Under the state laws in effect at the time, infants could only 'work' two hours a day, spend only 20 minutes in front of the camera, and—due to the brightness of the studio spotlights—no more than 30 seconds at a time.
