The piece narrates a chaotic court scene with a baby presented as the defendant's, a distraught mother and a juror asking to view the infant, and a press-led public fascination. It contrasts religious pretensions with frauds, noting a jury verdict in favor of the mother and a judge visiting the child’s grandmother, while observations shift to a sermonizing lay preacher and a gambling-tent scene highlighting exploitation and hypocrisy.
