Synopsis
"The angel in this film is a little girl who is struggling hard to keep alive her old mother, who is lying ill on a pile of rags. She tries in various piteous ways to scrape together-enough to keep her parent alive, and one scene shows her on the steps of the church, where are also gathered a number of beggars of various descriptions. As the people leave the church they pass through and give their mite as they will; in this way the girl receives a few coins and with this she purchases some refreshment for her mother. With skipping, joyful steps the little angel goes back to the hovel and bends over the form. But as she reaches down her mother suddenly falls back, and in another moment is dead. The child, dazed and taken completely by terrible surprise, quakes for a few seconds with emotion then loses her reason..." Moving Picture World, March 1908
