This three-reel production gives an excellent screen presentation of Hal Reid's famous old melodrama. King Baggot is cast as the young blacksmith and Arline Pretty as the sweetheart. The city adventuress appears on the scene with her male companion; she marries the blacksmith and later tires of life in the country. She induces her former pal to commit murder. He stabs Tom's father by mistake and the false wife flees with him to the city, abandoning her child. Later the child is stolen. Other features are the tramp, the blind mother, the hero's false imprisonment and subsequent pardon. The photography is unusually good throughout and the production makes the most of its subject matter. - The Moving Picture World, November 28, 1914
