His clerks are raising a purse for Jones, one of the office force, who recently has been presented with a son and heir. Stearns refuses to subscribe, and later he discharges Jones for being late. The agent for the Belgian Relief Fund also meets with a frigid reception. Peter takes a dose of medicine and falls asleep. He dreams that he is refused admittance to Heaven until he shall have done some charitable deed. He wanders over the earth, hopelessly seeking his opportunity. When at last he wakes from the effects of the narcotic which the druggist has sent him by mistake, he is a changed being. His conversion is like that of Scrooge, and he hastens with his wife to adopt a family of little Belgian refugees. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
