She has no sooner left the house than the child, looking through the window and seeing other children at play, goes out and joins them. Reddy, a thief, observes her departure, gets into the house, inspects the silver, piles it on a table, preparatory to wrapping it in the cloth and carrying it away, in the interim. Nellie has told her companions of the secret location of jelly and jam, and the little ones go back to the house for a luncheon. The thief, hearing the children, steps into the china closet, thinking that they will pass by and not observe the silver, Nellie, however, happens to see him, deftly turns the key in the lock, and then the little ones decide to hunt a policeman. The thief tries to kick his way out when he hears the coast is clear, but finding it vain, quiets down and gets out his gun to be ready for the coming police. Reddy's child has found a doll which happens to belong to Nellie Rowe. This results in their acquaintance, and she goes back to the house with Nellie. Her father, imprisoned in the closet, hears her voice. In the interim, the policeman has come, likewise Mrs. Rowe, whose hour is up. The officer cautiously opens the door, gun in hand, but the conscience-stricken thief has dropped his own weapon, a ready prisoner. The father of Nellie sees the relationship and pleads with the policeman to let the repentant man go with his own child. The big man in the uniform shuts his eyes for once, and remarks, "Sure, I have kids of me own." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
