Synopsis
A hijacker is told by a gangster, whom he believes to be his father, that his mother is the governor's wife. In an angry protest against crime, the boy kills the gangster/father. He is arrested, tried, and sentenced to die. The governor's wife expresses interest in the case and saves her son's life on the execution day by begging her husband to pardon him.
