He adopts Henry and employs his mother as nurse. Kenare escapes before his time and joins a band of gypsy kidnappers. Anxious to get even with the man who sent him to prison, Kenare agrees to steal the rich manufacturer's little son, as he supposes Henry to be. In the guise of a blind vagabond, he meets the boy and beguiles him with wonderful stories of a gypsy's adventures. On the day set for Henry's capture, Kenare chances upon his wife on the Spaulding grounds and learns the boy's identity. Overcome by the realization of his own son's narrow escape, Kenare returns to serve out his term. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
