A melodrama with a very novel idea. A burglar enters a house to steal, but, because of the beauty of the owner of the gems, he leaves without taking anything, much to the disgust of his pal. In the next two or three weeks he manages to get acquainted with the girl whom he saw asleep and later becomes her accepted suitor. He is still dishonest and at the races steals a hand bag from a lady by cutting it from its strap. A motion picture camera was pointed toward him. Later, he takes the girl into a picture show and the very scene is projected. The girl sees him commit the crime. He proves to the girl that he has turned over a new leaf and she forgives him. It is a well designed picture, but depends for its interest chiefly on the novelty of its idea. The thread of the story seems hardly reasonable enough to be very affecting. - The Moving Picture World, February 17, 1912
