Late one night she leaves her baby on the steps of an imposing mansion; hardly has she departed when the crook, bent on robbery, breaks in through a window, collects several valuable articles, then hears the baby crying. He opens the front door, picks up the baby, and places it on a sofa in the library and is about to depart when the sight of the innocent little mite touches a responsive chord in his heart. He returns and places the jewelry on the desk with a note telling what he has done and why. Just as he steps from the front door, the baby's mother, repentant of her action, returns to get her child. Finding it gone, she is about to give way to despair when the crook tells her where the child is and leads her within the house. While they are talking the owner of the mansion returns and, covering them with a gun, is about to 'phone for the police. He is stopped by the crook, who tells him his story and shows him the letter. Convinced that the crook has not lied, the millionaire allows him and the woman to depart, first giving them a cheque to start life afresh. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
