The Widow Brown has raided her young son to be a coward, by making him afraid of every stranger. She is being courted by Mr. Jones but refuses him because he tells her she is spoiling her boy and because he takes her boy to a picture show where he gets boy knowledge. A tramp comes to the house and seeing how frightened she and the boy are at his appearance, takes advantage of their fright and starts robbing them. The Brown boy remembers the picture show and takes courage and holds up the tramp with a monkey wrench, locks him in a closet and runs for Mr. Jones. The tramp breaks out, discovers Mrs. Brown, where she has hidden herself and forces her to reveal where she keeps her jewels, when the boy returns with Jones and captures the tramp, after which Mrs. Brown concludes Jones was right and accepts his offer of marriage.

    The story of a young widow who raised her boy like a girl. The observer's sympathy is enlisted with the youth and he is glad to see the boy show some nerve when the tramp comes. The boy saves his mother and calls help. This slight plot has an interesting touch of human nature in it and is well pictured. - The Moving Picture World, September 12, 1914
