Buddy Brady, a south-paw whose fame has endeared him to all lovers of America's universal game, appears on the scene in fair health and high spirits, but immediately after meeting Sunshine, decides that his sub- mucuos infection will require an extended rest and close attention. Major Kellicott, alias Hannigan Blake, in reality the step-father of Sunshine, accompanies Buddy's friend, Jim Anthony, who comes to the Sanitarium for a visit with his fiance. The Major attempts to draw Jim into a well-laid swindling scheme but Buddy, secretly informed of the Major's identification by Sunshine, thwarts the plan. Miss Mitford, the mental case, in her search for clues, Butternip with his .sincere fondness for tonics, and the disappearance of Maudelia, the ter- rible infant and Amelia, the parrot with a green body and a yellow tail furnish excitement and entertainment for the audience.
