Written and produced by William Duncan, this picture has the good qualities usually found in his work, but it doesn't come up to his best. It is a chase and fight picture, is set in an interesting country, very rough; has speedy riding; a turning at bay, with a slow retreat, at the end of which the hero is captured and tied to a stake near a fused can of dynamite. The hero manages to get his foot free and kicks this down among the desperadoes just as the sheriff and posse arrive. The ending was taken by a large audience merrily; it isn't at all convincing. - The Moving Picture World, March 15, 1913
