Title: The Baby Minders
Two men walk up the driveway of a suburban house and are given a Moses basket by a woman standing in the doorway. The two men, each holding a handle on the basket, turn and head off along the street waving back at the woman.
The two men gently swing the Moses-basket as they walk along a country road. They check to see if the baby is okay who smiles back at them happily. The men continue walking along the road each of them standing on the opposite side of the road. They then begin throwing the basket to each other.
One of the men takes the basket looking down on the smiling child before begins to wildly swing the basket over his head. The baby inside continues to smile. He accidently throws the basket into a ditch, but on recovering in the child simply looks back with a smile. The film is speeded up as the man continues to spin the basket in the air, his friend looking on disorientated.
The man throws the basket into the air twice, on the third throw it does not come down and he holds out his arms moving around preparing for it drop. It falls and he catches it, the baby in the basket laughing happily.
Back at the house a woman approaches and knocks on the door. The woman from the beginning opens it as the other woman points in the direction the men went. The woman in the doorway rushes off.
The two men come along road making their way back to the house each holding a handle of the basket. Standing in the driveway the wife looks for them holding a hammer. Seeing her with the weapon the men drop the basket, turn around and runs away chased by the woman with the hammer. The films with the baby in the basket looking sad that his fun is now over.
