This is an unusual two reel production. Olga Carew is an adventuress in whom an artist becomes dangerously infatuated, when a friend interferes and with the help of a pretty farmer's daughter, manages to break the woman's hold on him. But the cure proves only temporary, and in order to make it more lasting the friend brings the country girl to the artist's studio in the city. During her visit Olga Carew is mysteriously murdered and as the circumstances point to the country girl she is arrested for the crime. At the trial the real murderer is discovered, a pet ape of the artist. The manner by which it is discovered that the ape committed the murder is very striking, depending on the principle that the last image stamped on the retina of a living being's eye will be visible there after death. The film excites wonder. - The Moving Picture World, November 22, 1913
