When Pat Roach finds fortune in a southern home
In a Civil War era tale Pat Roach, a hungry Irish boy, seeks his fortune on the road. He sleeps in a house after aid from a kind Miss Jennie Stanton and Chloe. When marauders raid the estate, Jennie entrusts Pat with $2000, hidden in his blanket. He hides it in his person, endures a tense night, and returns the money to earn a place in the family.
