The Blood of the Poor (1912)
In her father's tailor shop, a young girl shares the meager morsels of bread with her little brothers and sisters, while their old father toils on the bench, striving to earn a scanty subsistence. The constable serves notice on him to pay his rent or get out on the morrow. Outside the shop the poor man's daughter is sweeping when an automobile happens to pass by, carrying the owner of the house. The daughter of the rich man is so impressed with the beauty of the poor girl that she tells her father she would like to employ the girl as her maid. By his daughter working for the rich man the rent is paid. While working at the rich man's house, the poor girl falls victim to the wiles of the son of the millionaire, and in making appeals to her mistress to have justice done her for the heinous crime, she is driven out at a reception by the rich man's son. The job is finished and the tailor expires. Another tailor, accompanied by the rich youth, appears at the squalid tailoring shop for the suit. The young scion is startled by the girl he has ruined and offers her money. She refuses and he betakes himself to the grand reception, leaving misery behind him.
