A delightful, heart-interest picture of a typical small boy. It is very well played by Yale Boss. His parents didn't let him have any pocket money at all. He chanced to pick up a nickel on the sidewalk. He knew whom it belonged to, but the temptation was strong and he spent it. He then suffered all the poignant repentance that such a youngster would be likely to feel. He saw the necessity of returning the money and started to earn it, one penny at a time, so that he could make the restitution. The state of mind that led up to this resolution, the difficulties he encountered in making the money, the inter-reaction of the boy and all the characters with whom he came in contact and the effect on them when his repayment disclosed the situation are all very dramatically and skilfully shown. It is a good feature picture, well photographed, excellently acted and of full length. - The Moving Picture World, February 3, 1912
