About
Baby Bink couldn't ask for more: he has adoring (if somewhat sickly-sweet) parents, lives in a huge mansion, and he's just about to appear in the social pages of the paper. Unfortunately, not everyone in the world is as nice as Baby Bink's parents—especially the three enterprising kidnappers who pretend to be photographers from the newspaper. Successfully kidnapping Baby Bink, they have a harder time keeping hold of the rascal, who not only keeps one step ahead of them, but seems to be more than a little bit smarter than the three bumbling criminals.

Confronting Risk in a Challenging Situation
Norby
Hey, Eddie, you sure you don't wanna go check to see if they left the money?
Eddie
Oh, that's a good idea. We get the living hell tore out of us by a baby! Three fully grown men versus fifteen pounds of pink flesh with a mouth. Now, what chance have we got of strolling into that alley and coming out with anything less than one and forty years in prison?
Veeko
No way.
Eddie
No, thank you! This is a hexed situation. We walk away while we're still ahead.
Veeko
We took a licking and kept on ticking.
Eddie
We'll go back to banks. Dealing with grownups, I don't want no kiddy stuff.
Norby
We did all right with banks.
Veeko
Or a convenience store once in a while, keeps things interesting.
A Lost Book Sparks a Child's Adventure
Bennington
You had quite an adventure today.
Baby Bink
Boo boo.
Bennington
Boo boo?
Gilbertine
It's what he calls his book. He lost it today.
Laraine
We'll get you another one, sweetheart.
Baby Bink
Boo boo!
Laraine
What? Oh, I see. That's nice.
Baby Bink
Boo boo.
Investigation of Missing Baby Leads to Clues
Agent Dale Grissom
We got some news. I don't know if it's good, but it's not bad. Since the media broke the story, calls have come in. There was a report of a man looking for a baby on a bus this morning. A baby missing from a department store care center. Another, at three o'clock, at the zoo. Shortly after that, at a downtown park. And a final report not long ago at...
Gilbertine
A building under construction.
[realizing]
Agent Dale Grissom
Yeah, that's right.
[surprised]
Gilbertine
He's doing everything in the book. I know where he is. "Before returning home for supper, Nanny and Baby Boo stopped at the Old Soldiers Home to visit Mr. Tinsel." That's where he is.
