The picture has the advantage of being freshly interesting

The saint refers to the wife of a man, reported to be a fugitive from justice; who has followed her husband to the wild lands. The Siwash is a squaw, owned by a villainous white man, and whom the saint rescues from her bondage. If the picture's object, even in part, was to stir us with admiration for the white woman's nobleness to call her the saint it wasn't wholly wise. We are also kept from full sympathy with her by the fact that until the end of the story when, through an unexpected turning upside down of the situation brought about by what was almost a prestidigitator's trick, not organically dramatic, it is shown that her husband is innocent. By no means do we argue that a wife shares her husband's gilt; but her seeming to help him in his escape makes her seem to. The picture has the advantage of being freshly interesting and as entertainment it deserves a good place among others of the week. The wife is played by Myrtle Stedman; her husband, by R. de Roselli; the Siwash by Mrs. Lester Cunio; the brutal squaw man, by Lester Cunio. William Slavens McNutt wrote the scenario, which was produced by Marshall Stedman. - The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1912
