Sure, the plot is ridiculous and the big criminal plot of the evil maid is filled with holes (why lock the aunt in a room with a working telephone? right after laughing evilly in her face and gloating about how you tricked her into thinking you weren't the devil incarnate?), but the technical values of this movie are pretty good for 1915. The editing and varied use of shots separate this film from the stagey tableaux style common only just a few years before. Plus, even with the silly story, if you can get into the melodramatic spirit of the thing, it's a lot of fun.
