The resourcefulness of woman is acceptably recognized in this film. A rancher and his wife are making money on their ranch when they learn of the gold possibilities elsewhere. All might have gone well, but their claim was salted and they lost all they invested. But the woman came to the rescue. At her suggestion barrels of crude oil were obtained and poured upon the ground. The seller of the claim was informed that the spot seemed likely to produce oil. He, gullible individual that he is, buys it back at increased price and the couple are well on their way back with an enlarged return before he discovers how badly he has been sold. As an example of a biter bit it is a superb piece of work. - The Moving Picture World, August 26, 1911
