Wild Maggie of the Five Points Redeemed by Mission Work
A desolate Five Points neighborhood vignette follows Wild Maggie, a persistent troublemaker, as a Protestant missionary opens a “House of Industry” to lift the poor through work. Maggie resists then accepts, learns to sew, helps in the workshop, and becomes a teacher to local children, sparking a neighborhood school and newfound respect.
