A comedy, formal in outline, but with some freshness in its conduct. The early scenes, both as to the sets and the business, were so like a recent Bison picture that opens with the same situation, a drunken Chinese cook, that the reviewer was under the impression that he had already seen the picture. After the foreman started out to find a new cook, the situation took a new turn. A pretty young woman (Miss Grandin, a new Bison surprise, plays the part) after a quarrel with her husband is shown looking for a job in an intelligence office. The foreman engages her and takes her to the ranch. The boys get a glimpse of her and all rush to tidy up. She is embarrassed, and decidedly over-seasons the stew, about a pound of pepper went into it. One of her admirers makes the outfit eat their grub at the pistol's point, whether they like it or not. They then hurry out to Dr. Green's. The boss had to eat his grub with the others. He wanted to fire the new cook, but the boys wouldn't have it. Meanwhile, the girl's husband has learned her whereabouts and arrives at the ranch after supper, when the whole crowd is out singing. When she runs to her husband's arms, there's a sorry looking bunch of punchers. At the end they sing "No Wedding Bells." It's a good comedy, but Bison has done better. - The Moving Picture World, December 23, 1911
