A musician tries to recover his stolen wallet, while a full-fledged gang war erupts in the neighborhood. The thugs aren't very threatening and the film lacks the hard-edge grit of the later gangster films, but this is still an impressive picture. Directed by D.W.Griffith and produced by Biograph. 17 minutes.
