Perhaps such films as this teach important truths, but they are not pleasant and so far as furnishing entertainment is concerned are nil. It is the story of a drunken husband who steals his wife's savings to elope with a girl. They miss the train and on their way back to wait for the next one find the wife's bloody apron and discover that she has fallen over a cliff. Just strength enough is left her to crawl back to the baby's crib where she falls dead beside it. The girl then spurns him and he is left to meditate upon his own worthlessness. The audience will wonder what becomes of the child now the mother is dead. - The Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911
