The opening scene of this emotional Western story is a revolver fight between an outlaw and a posse. It is smoky and takes place on a hillside covered with immense boulders around which the fugitive dodges. Doubling back, he manages to get one of the horses the posse had left unguarded. They are still hot on his trail and he takes refuge in his cabin where we see his wife and child. He is tracked there; but again eludes his pursuers by climbing through a back window. A little later, he is finally cornered in a cave. For two days he is held at bay, until, mad with hunger, he darts out and is killed. Meanwhile, his wife has remained in the cabin with the baby. Several pictures of her have been flashed on the screen as she sits with the child looking out toward the hills. It is her haunting face that pictures the tragedy. Beside this portrayal, the action is crude, but it makes a perfect background and the human qualities in the situation stand out against it very visibly. Miss Bush plays this outlaw's wife. She is showing in these "Flying A" pictures a wonderful breadth of insight and power of expression. Her work makes this a very good picture to feature with Miss Bush's acting as the attraction. - The Moving Picture World, January 27, 1912
