The premise

Here’s the bit.

Mister Robinson welcomes the children with a song about his affair with the landlord's wife, then discovers a baby in a basket left by Juanita, whom he last saw nine months ago. His vocabulary lesson and explanation of how families get babies lead to a less wholesome option: selling the child. A phone call to Ratso establishes a promising price, but the landlord arrives furious about Robinson's affair. Robinson takes the basket through the window, turning an afternoon stroll into an escape and a business opportunity.
