This is a humorous story about a heavily pregnant woman stealing treats and vices like alcohol and a pipe, and having the time of her life-while her miserable husband trails behind, pushing a baby stroller and trying to stop her. I assume all those stolen items play a part in what happens at the end-maybe? It's a bit unclear why it ends the way it does, but then again, this is a comedy of its time and isn't meant to be taken too seriously.

That said, it's worth noting that when this film was made, people weren't really aware of the dangers alcohol and smoking posed to unborn babies. It took several decades before even suspicions began to surface, let alone scientific evidence or consensus. So, the events in this story should be understood as a product of their time-early 20th century.
