The Creed of the Clan (1915)

Jim Bradley is on trial for murder, and at the eleventh hour, Sandy O'Connell furnishes an alibi, swearing that Bradley was with him at the time the murder was committed. Sandy is a very common sort of fellow, and when Bradley asks him why he did it, he replies that when he was a homeless kid of the gutter, Jim Bradley was pointed out to him as the man who gave money for the burial of his mother and father. This is why he lied for him under oath. Bradley has a daughter whom Sandy meets and falls in love with. Bradley tells him not to tell her of his false oath. Later, Sandy asks her to marry him and Bradley refused him. It is then discovered that Sandy swore to a lie, and he takes his punishment, realizing that if he can't have Kitty he will let her keep her love for her father.
