A starving Irish child and a rich man's turning point
A wealthy young man aids a hungry family in distress after learning of their plight in a tenement. He buys warm clothing and food for the mother and her three children, escorts the girl to the doorway, and then confronts the brutal squalor of their attic home. The act spurs him to abandon his luxury life and pursue philanthropy, dreaming of lasting good.
