Summary

"Tony the Tramp; Or, Right is Might" by Horatio Alger Jr. is a tale of a boy named Tony trapped in a vagrant life with a shady character named Rudolph, while longing for an honest and stable existence. Tired of their transient lifestyle, Tony dreams of a home and hard work, a stark contrast to Rudolph's embrace of freedom in their lower-class world. The friction builds as Rudolph attempts to pull Tony into a life of crime, forcing Tony to grapple with his own moral compass and face the pressures around him as he seeks a better path.
