A melodrama in two parts with a somewhat mechanical plot and not very strong. The hero carries an important receipt in his outside pocket where the villain can easily get it without detection and it is not made very clear how the villain knew it was there. Its loss makes the hero seem guilty of a theft and he goes to prison, a glimpse of him in his stripes behind the bars made the audience laugh as usual. The villain marries the girl and ill treats her and the hero comes out of prison. The villain has not destroyed the receipt that, if found, will show him to have been the guilty one and sets a revolver-trap so that whoever opens a certain drawer where the receipt is will be shot. The "fatal shot" kills himself. It is pretty well acted, but its quality is made clear by the plot we have just retold. - The Moving Picture World, November 15, 1913
