THE JACK-KNIFE MAN.

Peter Lane (Turner) is known as the "jack-knife man" because he spends his time whittling objects from wood, selling them to earn a living. When a hungry child, "Buddy," comes to his houseboat in quest of food, Peter asks and receives the aid of the Widow Potter. A while later a tramp, "Booge," joins the queer family and refuses to be ousted.
