Probation

No particular points of merit

A story in which the effects of evil companionship are brought out. The bad boy grows up and commits a crime, for which he is sent to the penitentiary. He learns of a plot to escape, warns the warden to no purpose and afterward follows one of the convicts in the break for freedom. The final scenes are in his own home. The story has no particular points of merit and makes an average release. - The Moving Picture World, January 23, 1915

Tom Miller's father, a judge, opposes a popular movement to win probation for first offenders. He discovers that his son is spending too much time lounging around a pool room and sharply reprimands him. Ridiculed by his young pals, however, as "papa's boy," he breaks his promise to the Judge and to his sweetheart, Helen Moore, and visits the pool resort in secret. A man is shot and Tom is accused of the crime. Under an alias he hopes to get through his trial and serve his time. But Judge Miller is transferred to the criminal department and Tom is recognized. He pleads probation. The Spartan father, however, sentences his son for five years. At the "pen" Tom overhears a plot against his father. He escapes and follows the crooks to his home, where they attack Mrs. Miller and Helen, who are alone. Tom is accidentally wounded by Mrs. Millernwhile he is trying to defend her. His father, arriving, takes him for an accomplice of the crooks and orders him carried to a public hospital pending his return to the pen. Later, Tom and the nurse overhear the confession of the man who committed the murder in the pool room. Helen intercedes with the judge. The man's confession is accepted and Tom is vindicated. Then Doris, who has momentarily disappeared, returns to receive the earnest compliments of Lawyer Morris and his son Boyd, who is in love with her.
