The Greatest Love of All

Joe, a poor Italian iceman, saves enough money both to furnish a basement apartment in New York and to arrange passage to America from the old country for his mother. Joe is soon engaged to Trina, and Joe's mother secretly finds work doing laundry in the home of District Attorney Kelland, in order to help them save enough to be married. When a diamond bracelet belonging to Mrs. Kelland disappears, Joe's mother finds it in the dirty linen, but, before she can return it, she is seen with it and arrested as a thief. She is tried, convicted, and sentenced to three years in jail. Joe is driven wild with anxiety and joins in a plot to kill the D. A. by putting high explosives in his golf ball. Joe relents and saves the D. A. when Trina proves that the Kellands' daughter was responsible for putting the bracelet in the wash. Joe's mother is released from jail, and she and the young lovers find happiness in a little home in the country.
