A Night's Adventure (1915)
George Heath, the son of a minister, has gone wrong, and is discovered in the sordid environment of the lower city sections. Grace Walton, the daughter of a minister, the Rev. Walton, is discovered in the proverbial needy condition of one of a minister's family. George receives a two-dollar bill from his family and his conscience is pricked when he reads the letter telling of the pinching necessary to spare the two. He determines that nothing will tempt him to spend the bill for drink or similar unworthy objects. Grace is sent to the great department store to pay a long overdue bill. On the way she meets Adele, a fashionable girlfriend, and when she accompanies Adele to a shoe store she is tempted to spend part of the money for a pair of fancy slippers. George, with all his money gone but the sacred two-dollar bill, decides that it is useless for him to struggle further and goes down to the river. Here he is only saved from suicide by the memories that the two-dollar bill and the letter from home bring. Grace, taking the slippers home, is scolded and goes to her room with a feeling of great rebellion against her lot. George, with a happy inspiration that perhaps the two dollars will bring him luck, is inspired to use that as the outside of a fake "roll" and to fare forth where the fake "roll" attracts the attention of Hoyt, a gambler, who pays George's expenses and leads him into a game. George, with beginner's luck, soon has a real roll, Grace, in her rebellion against her lot, expresses to Arthur Luck, a suitor, a wish to go to just one dance, and he tempts her to go to a dance hall which her father is preparing to raid with the police. When he leaves her for a moment she meets George, and George aids her in a spectacular escape when the raid occurs. Unfortunately, she has dropped one of the slippers, and this is found and recognized by her father. But George, taking Grace home, by a ruse persuades her father that he is mistaken, and George then uses his newly acquired funds in buying a ticket for home. His better impulse is uppermost.
