There is no doubt that this two part offering interested. The story's general tone is healthy, but it deals with morbid things and is unpleasant; there are too many mad people in it. For instance, the doctor is the most dangerous lunatic of all and he is intended to be sane. In order to make good in his early practice, this doctor had substituted for the dead baby of healthy parents the new-born child of a half wit. The boy grows up and falls in love with the doctor's daughter. The doctor takes him for a ride and times it so that the automobile will be struck by a passing train; the auto is really smashed by a car and it is made to look as though the two men were still in it, a truly sensational ending. The staging, including sets and photography, is most commendable. Lawrence McCloskey is the author and it was put on by George Terwilliger. - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914
