El huésped de media noche (1914) Online
George Lemont. recently divorced, has been given the custody of his little son and, thoroughly embittered against his former wife, refuses to allow her even to see the boy. Desperate, the woman at last decides upon a daring stroke and employs "Gentleman Joe," a notorious character of the underworld, to gain possession of her child for her. By means of a "fake" rescue, Joe gains the confidence of Lemont and the entree to his home. The abduction of the little fellow is, therefore, an easy matter, but once the lad is in his hands, Joe plans to extort from either the father or mother a larger sum than the latter has paid him. He notifies her that "the price has gone up." Lemont employs a corps of shrewd detectives who seek the child without success, and at last the mother, her heart torn with grief and remorse, determines to find her son herself. Disguised, she visits the cheap cabarets and dance halls frequented by Joe and finally learns that the boy is held prisoner at the "Half Moon" ...
