Her mother has died, and she wanders the street, until a boy her own age offers her some food and takes him to his friends. They run a gang of child thieves, and attempt to train her to steal pocket watches. She is caught, but the man takes her in. When the boy who was kind to her breaks into her new home, where will her loyalty lie?
It's a very early movie for Louis Feuillade, still largely working under Alice Guy, assigned the same sort of projects that other Gaumont directors get, using their methods. It would be over the next couple of years that he would develop his own voice, his sardonic camera placement and pacing so fast that he could slip any inconsistencies past the audience. For the moment, this is all right.
