In this film the episode of loss of memory through being overcome with heat and worry is made the principal feature. The man's wife cannot find him and he, living in affluence, has forgotten all about her and his child. Rather, his memory of them is dead. One day his own son comes to his office, looking for work, and is employed because of his manly plea. He loses the money entrusted to him to deposit and this leads to the manager going to his mother's home, where the family is brought together. The effect is to restore his memory and once more they are united. The picture is no better and no worse than others of the same type. - The Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911
