A novel subject, worked out in an intensely dramatic way. A good man takes a condemned convict's place in prison so the latter can go to see his dying wife. On his way back he is killed by an automobile. If the guard had not recognized the good man he would have been executed in the convict's place. Fortunately it all comes out right and the difficulties are swept away. The picture is strongly dramatic and the players have worked out the situations with a full appreciation of the possibilities. The acting is alive, with a comprehension of the possibilities in such a complication. The photography shows improvement over some previous films put out by this house and marks steady improvement in technical excellence. - The Moving Picture World, March 12, 1910
