A typical Western drama with a fresh incident somewhat more clever than usual. This consists of the novel way Bad Bill takes to obtain possession of the contents of the express box. He is riding the stage in a large box so arranged that he can abstract the gold without being seen. It will then be with him and be delivered with himself and the box in the safe place to which he has directed it. This would have worked out all right had not the stage driver's boy gone out to get a snap photograph of the stage passing the house. The money is missed at the express office and the driver is accused, but the negative, on being developed, shows Bad Bill leaning out of the big box and with his hand in the small one. This incident, in spite of the very conventional trimmings with which the central situation is surrounded, makes an interesting offering. The characters are merely figures. William H. West plays the driver; Jane Wolfe, his wife; Judson Melford, the boy; Gertrude Short, the little lame girl, and Paul Hurst, the desperado. - The Moving Picture World, December 21, 1912
