One day while playing ball in the street the old man's shop window is smashed. The guilty ones escape the wrath they have aroused. One of the boys, however, is caught when pushed against the cobbler and is soundly punished. His mother, on hearing his story of the beating he received, hastens to the shop and takes back the shoes she had sent to be repaired. The next day she discovers that the old man has given her two "rights" and no "left" and her ire is equaled by her haste to tell the boot-mender what she thinks of his carelessness. But she finds him ill and her womanly pity is aroused. Calling her son she sends him for the nearby doctor and thereupon sets about tidying up the dirty back room of the shop. Through the sickness the widow proves her genuineness and nurses the old bachelor back to health. And the inevitable occurs for sympathy is corralled by Dan Cupid, and thus the widow's "last" proves her best. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
