Conventional western drama

A two-reel western number, with Wm. S. Hart and Jack Nelson in the leads. The sheriff captures the young bandit, but releases him in gratitude for a good turn the latter's mother did him. This desert experience is well pictured. The bandit later comes to grief, however, when the sheriff prevents the band from robbing the local bank. There is a lot of shooting in the latter scenes. Conventional western drama, with good action and photography. - The Moving Picture World, February 27, 1915
