Mildly amusing but nothing more. Takes too long to get to the point and then it ends too soon.

A somewhat novel Christmassy take on one of the moldiest, most overused moralistic plots of the day (a desperate man is driven to burglary, but unwittingly targets the house of his greatest friend/benefactor/whatever, so everything turns out alright in the end). Pretty stagey, but not too bad by 1909 standards.
