For His Sake (1922)

Ethel Dean is left an orphan when her mother dies of consumption, because of insufficient care. Her mother's brother, Sidney Bentham, is a wealthy financier, but has isolated himself from all his relatives. Ethel and her pal, Jimmy, the newsie, set out to find Bentham. They happen to arrive at his home, and Bentham, who has heard of his sister's death, repents sufficiently to take Ethel into his home. Jimmie, too, finds shelter there and the two plot to reform Bentham, who is bent on destroying his brother in the stock market. The two children plan a clever campaign and succeed in restoring the friendship between the two brothers.
