Griffith hangs a young kid from a window for the second time in this ok drama. The child is used by a couple of robbers to force her miserly old neighbour to reveal the combination of a safe he keeps in his ramshackle flat. Lionel Barrymore (looking like one of Harry Enfield's scousers) makes one of his earliest screen appearances as a jewel thief who comes to the rescue, and Donald Crisp plays a copper.
