Drama.

Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? He was an East Side rag-picker, who earned the greater part of his living by begging coupons in front of cigar stores. Tony, sent out for “beer money” by the gang, saw the old man’s hands filled with nickels. In the following scuffle little Dolly Tracy came to the rescue. “Old Coupons” never forgot.

Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 22 November 1913, page ?] A very appealing character story, featuring an old man who makes his living collecting cigar coupons. A little girl befriends him and when he is fatally shot he leaves all his money to her. Fine photography, sincere acting, and a pleasing story combine to make this a successful release.
