Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? To be in a poorhouse is a hard lot, but to go from a poorhouse bound to a stern, cruel taskmaster is still harder, especially when one is a little boy. Then, to find an opportunity to show one’s inherent heroism and thus win the gratitude of a rich man and the permanent companionship of the rich man’s son is perhaps compensation enough. And thus it is with “That Boy from the Poorhouse.”
