A two-reel number, with Edwin August as producer and principal actor. The father, a political grafter, raises the rent on certain tenements in the poor quarters. The son is an idol among the residents there and distributes his father's graft money with a lavish hand. Later, when the father's enemies are closing in upon him, the son saves him from the Black Hand. The plot is extravagant and melodramatic in the extreme, but it is quite interesting. - The Moving Picture World, May 2, 1914
