Chappie's Code (1913) Online

Chappie, a clever young crook released from prison, earnestly resolves to live right. Returning to the city he seeks his old "pal" and sweetheart, "The Fairy," and finds that she, too, has reformed and is working in a small jewelry shop. His joy at this discovery is turned to sorrow upon learning that she is to marry her employer, but he bravely gives her up. Chappie's old gang is still operating in defiance of the police, and the chief of detectives decides to make Chappie go back to his old associates, win their confidence and betray them. When Chappie refuses to do this, the police begin a series of persecutions that will force him to do their bidding. He is hounded about; they won't let him hold any job, "put his landlord wise" and keep him moving, and refuses to allow him on the streets at night. Unable to get work, penniless, hopeless and homeless, his condition grows desperate. Then the shop where "The Fairy" works is robbed. Without searching for any clues they arrest Chappie....
