A love story told with considerable dramatic power, which illustrates the intrigue of a monk and his attempt to get a girl into his power. The climax comes when the girl, convicted of blasphemy, is condemned to be buried alive, and the sentence is to be executed just as a prince, to whom she appealed, arrives with a body of men and rescues her. She falls into the arms of her lover, while the villain is hurried away to punishment. The story, as given, has offended the religious sensibilities of very many earnest people of all denominations; and especially Roman Catholics, whether they are especially earnest or not, feel distaste at seeing the crucifix handled without reverence. - The Moving Picture World, May 27, 1911
