- As studio financing dwindled away for Hugo Haas, his last film as a writer-director-producer has certain autobiographical elements, a cast featuring several film veterans from the silent era, and a storyline containing a metaphoric commentary on Hollywood. When former European film director Agnus (Haas) witnesses bickering in a boarding house, he sets out to prove the innate goodness of people. Casting neighbors and the boarding house tenants in his new film, titled "The Chosen and the Condemned," he succeeds in creating peace, unity and harmony in the neighborhood. However, it's all a deception, since Agnus has no film in his camera. When a studio head learns of the project, he bankrolls a budget that enables Agnus to actually complete the film.

A crooked bank employee and one of the tenement dwellers are stealing bonds from the bank. When they are about to be caught, they try to frame the girl and her boyfriend, and the bank employee attempts to force himself on the girl. All comes right in the end, and the banker decides to build new apartments for the tenement-dwellers instead of a factory.
- It is Christmas Eve in the alley. A few pedestrians pass along, carrying Christmas packages, then comes the orphan newsboy, ragged, cold and hungry. He tries to sell his papers, but is unsuccessful and sits down on a doorstep sick at heart. Two East Side ruffians stop nearby, planning a holdup. They point up the alley, where a fashionably dressed woman is distributing Christmas gifts to the poor. As she goes further up the street, the ruffians following, the boy comes from his place of concealment, finds a policeman and both hide in a doorway. As the thugs attack the woman, the policeman beats them off and they make a hasty retreat. At this moment an old humpbacked man comes along. He is the newsboy's uncle and lives upon the earnings of the boy. When he finds that the orphan has sold no papers he strikes him with a cane and drags him off to their wretched home. Here again the old man beats the boy and sends him to bed without supper. The boy hangs his stockings in the fireplace, then writes a note to Santa Claus as follows: "Dere Santy, Flat Noezd Mulligan sez dere ain't no Santy Claws, but dere is. I seen his pictur in a book. Pleas bring me a gun, sum nu close, a watch, and sum cigaretts. Yurs trule, Jimmy. P. S. Look out fer dat hole in me stockin." He then falls asleep and dreams that a fairy appears in the room. At a wave from her wand Santa Claus comes from the chimney. Another pass and the boy is clothed in a new suit and surrounded with toys. Santa takes a box of cigarettes from the tree and Jim drops everything to take them. As he does so, everything disappears and the boy finds it is only a dream. His uncle comes into the room, beats him for being awake and is still threatening him when a knock is heard at the door. The old man opens it and the wealthy woman of our first scene, followed by her coachman, enters the room. She tells the old man that Jimmy saved her from an attack by ruffians and she wishes to reward him. The old man's manner changes and he pats his nephew affectionately on the cheek. The woman thanks the boy, showers presents upon him and then leaves. The old man, smiling at their unexpected good fortune, bids the boy a fond good-night, rubs his hands gleefully and goes to bed. The boy sits down and writes this letter to Santa: "Dere Santy, Much oblige fer sendin de kind lady to me. I'll be a gud boy and I won't smoke eny more cigaretts, honest I won't. Yurs trule, Jimmy." Then he inspects his presents and puts on his new clothes.
