Plot

Set in the early 20th century, the titular Lazybones (Steve), an indolent young man living with his indulgent mother, is in love with Agnes, a young woman from a wealthy family. Her sister, Ruth, summoned home to the village to be married advantageously, returns from two years at college with an unannounced infant. Afraid to tell her mother, she attempts suicide by jumping in the river, but Lazybones saves her and hears her story about secretly marrying a seaman who was lost at sea. Taking pity on Ruth, Lazybones looks after the infant, whom he names Kit, at first temporarily until Ruth can claim her, telling others that he found Kit and without revealing to anyone her mother' identity.
