The Cracksman&apos;s Reformation

The moral is not clear

This is a story which seems like amateur socialism tinged with a club. A cracksman convinces a business man that he has not been doing for society all that he might; the business man agrees to do things on a new basis. The cracksman on his part agrees to refund all his ill-gotten gains. The moral is not clear, or if it is, it seems questionable. - The Moving Picture World, November 15, 1913

Dorothy informs the cracksman that when he has finally renounced his life of thieving he may return to her and claim her. The cracksman resolves to be worthy of her. In his home he doubts his ability to reform and takes out his revolver. A vision of the girl comes to him and he is about to cast it aside when a tray of gleaming jewels crosses his vision. His resolution wavers. He places the gun in his pocket and sallies out. In the street he comes to a window full of jewels. Turning to the left he observes a window with a crepe upon it. The influence of the girl causes him to enter this house, and he sees a sorrowing couple bending over the bed of a sick child. He ponders, sick at heart, then enters the rich man's house. Stealing behind him he observes the fellow crossing the name of a child worker from his list of wage earners. At the point of a gun the rich man is forced to the poor man's house and shown the misery which he has caused. Back in his own house the factory owner is made to promise on paper that he will pay his employees a living wage. Underneath this the cracksman signs to the effect that he will return his ill-gotten gains to charity.
