Alicia of the Orphans (1916)
Alicia Jones runs away from an orphanage and then puts on boys'
clothes in order to get work on a farm. She falls in love with hired
hand Harry Deigan, who knows her secret, but when the farm owner
learns that Alicia is a woman, he fires her. Alicia goes back to the
city, where wealthy mine owner Thomas Deigan adopts her. Meanwhile,
Harry discovers that Thomas is his half brother, and decides to
investigate his rich relative. He learns that Thomas took the mine
illegally from the rightful owner, who, as a young girl, was placed in
an orphanage after her mother's death. When further investigation
reveals that Alicia is the owner, Harry decides to confront his half
brother with the truth just as Thomas is trying to seduce his new
daughter. Harry then fights off Thomas, and after seeing that the mine
is restored to its real owner, he begins once again the romance that
was interrupted when Alicia left the farm.
The film is also known as The Ragged Princess.
