This comedy is interesting because it is somewhat out of the ordinary. Picture to yourselves the predicament of a man who could not understand Mexican. He approaches a place where a blast is to be exploded. He doesn't understand and the two Mexicans tie him with a rope to prevent his being injured. He sends word to his friends he is being murdered and they hasten to his rescue. Meanwhile the blast has been exploded and poor Percy is quite sure he is doomed to extinction. The arrival of his friends affords the Mexicans opportunity to explain and Percy discovers that in place of being murdered he was in reality saved from destruction. The unexpected situation is what creates the fun. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
