Bad hombre William S. Hart turns almost instantly good at the sight of preacher's sister Clara Williams in this ordinary oater that is partly redeemed by its spectacular finale in which the entire town of Hell's Hinges is set ablaze. Hart's redemption is indecently swift due to the film's brief running time, as is the corresponding downfall of rookie preacher Jack Standing, whose fall from grace is complete after just one night on the juice with villainous Silk Miller (Alfred Hollingworth) and his cronies, who count amongst their number a certain young John Gilbert.
