To this reviewer, the weak part of this picture seems to be that the circumstantial evidence that the man who lay dead had been murdered at all was so light that it excites a feeling of resentment at the verdict, which does not adequately increase our sympathy for the hero. This seems to be because the hero isn't really known to us; he hasn't been made our friend. In fact, the scenario writer, though he has shown the hero in prison, which the producer made to look like a cavern, has deliberately turned his back on him and made Webster, the hero's friend, the chief point of interest. It is not a picture of the ranchman's son's experience, but of the friend's. As a picture it doesn't seem to this reviewer quite as good as the Selig "Range Pals," which it much resembles. - The Moving Picture World, September 2, 1911
