The Right to Live

Piccino, a newsboy, shelters the waif Bettina and befriends a blind lawyer. After losing his corner to a bully and Bettina is struck by a car, Piccino steals bread and is arrested. In court, the lawyer defends Piccino, and the capitalist responsible for Bettina's accident makes reparations, leading to a new life for Piccino, Bettina, and the lawyer in the countryside.
