Lovey and Dovey have a baby, named, of course, Snookums. Everything Snookums wants, Snookums gets. At his first birthday party, Lovey mistakenly believes Snookums has been kidnapped - and the chase is on.
Lovey calls Dovey at his office and tells him over the telephone that something has happened to baby. Before she can explain what has happened the baby drops a plate and she drops the phone. Fearing disaster, Dovey rushes home to be told that baby has a new tooth. They decorate the house and invite the neighbors to celebrate the new tooth. The baby is missed and they fear he has been kidnapped. Rushing out, Lovey and Dovey get in their car and pursue a racing motorcycle that has something propped up in the sidecar that looks like a child. Snookums has crept into the car with his father and mother and is having a fine time unknown to them. The man in the motorcycle throws the "child" over the side of a bridge. Dovey dives into the rescue, bringing up a bottle of liquor swathed in napkins. Then Snookums is discovered sleeping in the back seat, and they camp on the road until midnight rather than wake him by starting the car.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
