Baby Doll is a 1916 silent comedy film featuring Oliver Hardy, one of a series of over thirty "Plump and Runt" one-reel comedies, made by the Vim studio in 1916.[1]
Plump and Runt are male friends who need to raise cash. Runt's uncle advises him to marry; Plump dresses as Runt's wife to convince the uncle that his advice was followed. Instead, the married uncle flirts with the dressed-up Plump. This provides an alternative means of raising money from the uncle, as payment to keep quiet about his behavior.[2]
