A Counterfeit Santa Claus (1912)

A poor father, maddened by the prospects of his children having no Christmas presents, undertakes the desperate remedy of robbing to secure them. Like a thief in the night he invades a great mansion on Christmas Eve and is mistaken by the curious and wakeful children of the household as Santa Claus. His penitence voices itself in a pathetic note, that falls into philanthropic hands, so that he gets the needful employment and the little comforts he coveted so much for his own loved ones.
