This very early D.W. Griffith short has tragic implications. A little girl is put on the snowy street to beg. She holds out her shoe and no one gives her anything. She is tired and falls asleep on a snow covered stoop. A man puts a coin in her shoe while she sleeps, but a gambler comes along and "borrows" it. He soon turns it into a fortune and goes to give back the money, but she has died. This is a sad morality play. Well done and very sad.
