NOTES A caring owner of a steel mill is a good employer. However

one of his managers does the dirty on him resulting in his

losing the mill, becoming disabled through an accident and

ending up on the streets as a beggar.

He organizes other beggars and plots revenge against the

'evil' manager.

Not an entirely successful film. It mixes social realism with

heavy melodrama.
