This very simple story is worth watching partially because of the decent action, and more so because of the good photography that uses many different backgrounds and settings. By itself, the story would not be of that much interest, but in addition to a fairly entertaining chase sequence, the movie also provides many sights of Philadelphia as it was in 1904.
The movie starts with the gang of robbers getting ready to rob a bank. Up through the robbery sequence, the action is mostly routine, and indeed it seems likely that the whole motivation of the film-makers was to set up the lengthy chase sequence. Given the basic and straightforward filming techniques of the time, it works all right. There are also a couple of touches of humor.
The settings in the early scenes are relatively plain studio sets, but the highlight chase sequences take place amidst the streets and sights of Philadelphia. Even if you do not find the action to be that compelling, it is still interesting whenever a film preserves some footage of portions a well-known city the way it was many years ago.
