Polly Parrish, a clerk at Merlin's Department Store, is mistakenly presumed to be the mother of a foundling. Outraged at Polly's unmotherly conduct, David Merlin becomes determined to keep the single woman and "her" baby together.
Editor's Verdict
"While 'Bachelor Mother' is primarily a romantic comedy centered on mistaken motherhood, historical analysis confirms that the primary setting of the action—the department store, the public outcry, and the central conflict—occurs entirely around the Christmas shopping season, giving it narrative weight. However, the film does not explicitly mention Christmas in its dialogue or focus on typical holiday themes."
