Small in size and young in years, he is unable to secure work and, finally, arrives at a point where he faces starvation. To satisfy the cravings of his little stomach he is forced to steal. For this a strong armed officer of the law arrests him, and the next day he is brought before Judge Lanshaw, of the Juvenile Court, for sentence. Frank Weston, a lawyer, becomes interested in "Danny," and asks permission to adopt him. This is granted and "Danny," overjoyed at the thought of having a really truly father and mother, accompanies him to the Weston home. Mrs. Weston receives him with open arms, and Danny is made clean and comfortable. A love for his new parents is born within his manly little bosom, and he resolves to someday show his appreciation. Mrs. Weston is reading a book, when the phone rings. Having nothing else at hand, she places a ten dollar bill in the book to mark the place where she was reading. Later, forgetting about the misplaced bill, she discovers its loss and is worried about it. That afternoon she loans the book to a Mrs. Rich, one of her friends. Mrs. Rich drops her pocketbook, which is found and returned by "Danny." Pleased with his honesty Mrs. Rich gives him a crisp new ten dollar bill. Mrs. Weston notices the bill in "Danny's" possession and thinks that he has stolen hers. "Danny," thinking to surprise his foster parents, buys presents for them with his money, Mrs. Rich discovers the lost bill inside the book and goes to return it to the Weston home in person. She arrives upon the scene, just as the Westons are about to denounce "Danny" for a thief, and by her explanation everything is righted and the shadow of suspicion is lifted for all time from "Danny."
