His Only Child (1910)
Philip Strong, a millionaire railroad magnate, enwrapped in his business cares, has little time for his little motherless son, who develops traits of disobedience. The boy causes no end of trouble. One evening Strong receives word to attend an important meeting. He is packing his grip, and in doing so removes his revolver. The little boy notes its hiding place. The next day the youngster procures the weapon. It is accidentally discharged and the boy is severely wounded. A telegram is immediately sent to the father, who charters a special train and makes for home in record-breaking time. He arrives just as the doctor is working over the little boy. He is assured the boy will recover, then returns to work. Miss Norton, the nurse, is a very pretty young woman with an affectionate disposition, and wins the love of her charge. One day the boy repulses his father and runs to his nurse. Incensed in his belief that the nurse has estranged his son from him, he discharges the nurse. When the nurse bids goodbye to the little boy, he cries bitterly and denounces his father. Then the father comes on the scene as the boy pleads, and Strong is won over.
