A very sensational melodramatic picture with a climax that gets over effectively, but that may offend many sensitive spectators; it is a situation that is almost disgusting, when one thinks of it. A burglar, who has a grudge against a man, finds him in a house with his sweetheart. They are to be married next day. As the price of his not killing the man he demands the girl and the girl consents, but is saved from him. The picture is perfectly photographed and there are some really lovely sets in it, but the plot is not strong. It begins with an improbable crime and capture; all of its criminals are most unlikely people. Again, some of its scenes are very carefully produced, especially toward the end. For the gallery and for certain localities, it should go very well, but not in special places. The script, by Emmet Campbell Hall, was produced by Barry O'Neil. Harry Myers and Ethel Clayton play the romantic leads. - The Moving Picture World, August 9, 1913
