They invite in the old, blind lawyer across the hall to share their feast. The next morning, Piccino finds that Jo, the bully, has stolen his corner where he sells papers. Wandering disconsolately, he sees an automobile strike down Bettina, who is peddling papers to help out. The injured child is carried to the tenement. In desperation, Piccino steals a loaf of bread from a baker's cart. The boy is captured by a policeman, and a few days later is taken before the Juvenile Court. By chance Bettina and the rich employer of the chauffeur who ran her down are also present. Old Lawyer Hillbrand pleads the newsboy's case. Montgomery, the capitalist, learns for the first time of his chauffeur's criminal carelessness. He asks permission of the court to make reparation. Piccino is vindicated, and Montgomery sends him, with Bettina and Lawyer Hillbrand, to a pleasant home of their own in the country. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
