A well-constructed two-reel number of the red-blooded type. Some of the latter scenes are intensely brutal and unpleasant, yet at the same time presented with artistic skill. Wallace Reid appears as a young blacksmith, strong in figure but morally weak. He does not rise to the danger when a stranger trifles with his sister, but later the manhood is roused in him. He follows the stranger, who has shot five or six men, and chokes him to death, bare-handed, then swings the dead body across his shoulders and brings it home to prove that at last he is a man. This is strong, undiluted material, as can be seen from the plot. The photography is clear and the characters are appealing. - The Moving Picture World, February 6, 1915
