First Line:
Sam's better, but what with being doused with ether and beat over the head, he had a close call.
Synopsis:
Empty Williams murders his wife and takes refuge in a children's treehouse until killed fighting it out with police. As Tracy is engaged, an underage Junior drives a squad car to the hospital while the patrol office delivers the Tracy baby. Despite Tracy's resistance, Bonny Braids is finally settled on for the baby's name. Crewy Lou makes a pitch to photograph Bonny. Tracy surreptitiously observes her with the teleguard camera.
