But he will not stay home nights and travels with a tough mob, one of whom finally leads him into a robbery. The man they plan to rob is a wealthy man, whose philanthropy is well known. Invited to come to see him, the boy goes to see Keene, but only to get the lay of the land, for he and his pal, who plan to rob his house. The boy and his crook pal later go to the man's house to rob and the boy waits in the hall standing guard, while his pal investigates the safe. etc. The crook carries a 38 caliber gun while Keene has a 32 in his desk, and while the burglar is looking over the place Keene enters the room, surprises the burglar, who fires on him and is in turn shot and killed by Keene. The latter is mortally wounded, the shots that wounded him also knocking his gun out of his hand, and he is thus forced to use the dead burglar's gun with which to protect himself against the boy, who enters on the run. Keene wounds the boy and then falls dead himself. The boy, trying to get away, thinks he is dying and thinks of mother, etc. Maids are scared on account of the shots and dare not approach the room. The boy believing he is done for, crawls back to the room, places the burglar's gun back in his hands, crawls to the side of Keene, and the police, and particularly the mother, are led to believe that the boy was wounded by the burglar while defending his benefactor. This is published in the papers and the mother is happy at the thought of her boy being honest, and the boy realizes here is his chance to foster that belief in him by remaining "straight" always and be worthy of his mother's trust.
