Sailor Jack's Reformation (1911)
Sailor Jack and his shipmates on shore leave spend their money and time as sailors who have been on a long voyage and just landed usually do. Wandering about the town their first evening ashore the sailors stop on a corner where a crowd has collected and listen to a detachment of the Salvation Army. Sailor Jack, although under the influence of liquor, is impressed by the strong appeal of Captain Agnes, a Salvation Army lassie, and is induced to go to their nearby hall where services are to be held. Jack signs the pledge and falls in love with the lassie. Rapidly prosecuting his suit a month later Jack wins Agnes' promise to wed. A few months of happiness follow but Jack's jealousy is unwarrantedly aroused by the friendship between Agnes and Lieutenant Landers of the Salvation Army. Jack forgetting his good resolutions in anger breaks his pledge and spends the night drinking and the next day ships for a long voyage. While at sea remorse takes possession of Jack. Realizing the injustice he has done his wife he makes up his mind to return home as soon as possible and beg her forgiveness. Jack's long trip being ended he seeks his deserted wife who has been wearily awaiting his return. With a glad cry Agnes holds out her arms to the truant husband who, kneeling at her feet, confesses his transgressions.
