None of the officers will take the infant, and Polidor at last volunteers to give it a home. He is greatly surprised and gratified to receive an official notice telling him that he will be paid £2 a month for the maintenance of the child. It does not take Polidor long to reckon out that if one child pays him so well, one hundred will pay him still better, and he straightway makes it his business to acquire every child he can lay hands on. Here an infant is stolen from a perambulator, there a whole family is lured away from its nurse, and finally Polidor lures the entire pupils of a boys' and girls' school from their preceptors and carries them to his house. Naturally complaints are made to the police and Polidor's house is raided, and he learns that his arithmetic is faulty after all. Written by Cinema News and Property Gazette (August, 1912) See less
