Man to Man (1915)
Driven desperate by lack of work, the laborer takes a revolver and resolves to get money at any cost. He effects an entry into the home of a millionaire and "covers" the owner before the latter has a chance to move. The rich man has just placed a well filled wallet on the table and the burglar snatches it up, seating himself at the same time. Then there ensues a battle of wits between the two; one trying to outguess the other. The intruder, new to this style of law breaking, welches as he tries to shoot his unwelcome host, and the latter calls him a coward, saying that if he had the gun he would shoot him "like a cur." The burglar hands over the weapon and the rich man points it at the former's uncovered breast, but later wilts and lowers the arm. The butler, summoned by a floor button, sees the predicament of his employer and goes for the police, who rush into the house in search of the intruder. The latter hides and the officers are thrown off the scent by the intended victim. The thief breaks down and tries to hand back the money, but the rich man, softened by his visitor's poverty, refuses it and the two men, drawn together by the spirit of brotherhood, shake hands.
