The plot of "The Family Secret" abounds with ridiculous and improbable situations. Yet, for one reason I think it's still worth seeing--the adorable Baby Peggy. Otherwise, it's kind of a dumb picture.

When the film begins a young lady is in love with a man but her parents don't approve. You get the impression they wouldn't approve of anyone, as they are nasty old cranks. The father arranges for his daughter to leave on a trip for several months---hoping that during that time, she'll forget all about the guy. When she returns, however, she has a baby and then announces she secretly married the guy some time ago!! Huh?! If she WAS married, why did she leave?! And why didn't she tell her folks?! Anyway, the husband soon arrives and the nasty father arranges for the guy to get arrested and they poor schmuck is sent to prison(?). Years pass and the wife doesn't realize her husband was in prison(?)--she thinks he just ran away because her family was so nasty. What's next is even more ridiculous and improbable but it happens when this baby has grown into one of the most adorable kids in film history, Peggy! What's next? Who cares...just watch the kid, she's adorable.
