His Regeneration
Directed by Gilbert M. Anderson

A silent-era morality tale about redemption and temptation, where a criminal's second chance hangs in the balance between his benefactor's faith and his own criminal impulses.
A rough criminal gets a second chance at life thanks to a kindly (and wealthy) lady saloon patron. But he hasn't gone straight yet, as he and a partner attempt to rob the home of a rich homeowner-- whose wife is asleep in the next room.
