From Out of the Dregs (1914)
Nell Durand, trained by her father to pick pockets, is caught in the act of robbing Tom Berry. Instead of having the girl arrested, Tom gives her his card, telling her that if ever she makes up her mind to reform, he will see that she gets a position. Nell pleads with Kit Durand to start a new life, and Berry gets the girl work in a factory. Amos Berry, who is a wealthy stock broker, makes a will, leaving everything to his son. He gives it to James Croll, a lawyer, for safe keeping. Shortly after, Durand and his gang, back at old tricks, rob Croll's office. They consider themselves badly stung, as they find nothing but legal papers. Amos Berry dies suddenly, and Croll sees his opportunity to marry his daughter to young Berry. He produces a forged will, which leaves his father's estate to Tom, provided he marries a girl acceptable to James Croll, executor. Tom realizes that the only girl he wishes to marry is Nell Durand. He takes her to the lawyer, who will not listen to the young couple. In her distress, Nell makes a confidant of her father. He examines the stolen paper, discovers the genuine will, and arming himself with this and a revolver, goes to Croll's office. Holding up the lawyer at the point of his gun, he forces him to telephone his consent to Tom's and Nell's marriage.
