The Alarm of Angelon (1915)

After months of hard labor in American, Angelon, a poor Italian, saves enough money to send to Naples for his wife and children. He buys a postal order and in attempting to mail it at a fire box he is arrested and given his choice: pay a fine, the equivalent of his savings; or serve a term in prison. He sends the money to his family. When they reach New York, Angelon, still in jail, is not there to meet them. They fall into the hands of a padrone from whom they are rescued by Edna Lane, a young woman engaged in social-service work. She finds Angelon's wife a position with an invalid Italian woman interpreter, and the children are sent out to sing and play in the streets. Angelon recognizes his children's voices singing outside his cell. They discover him and run home to their mother with the news. Through Edna's help and that of her fiancé, young attorney Dan Grey, Angelon is freed, and the family is happily united.
