He frequents saloons and gets food for free lunches and even tries to get food from the garbage palls in the hall of the tenement where he lives. A thief living in the house steals a wallet from the man who discharged Morrison, and Morrison, having been seen about the halls acting suspiciously, is suspected. His daughter is ill and the old man feels ashamed and would rather be accused of theft than acknowledge that he had been reduced to rummaging garbage to live. An old woman neighbor has seen him though. She tells his former boss and the real thief, who is seen throwing the pocketbook away, is caught. The old man is given his job back by his former boss and he and Bess are assured of a happy future. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
