Why should an outlaw risk his life to help a hurt cowboy whom a few moments before he had been ready to kill? "Human nature," that is what the scenario writer would answer. In this picture, the producer has made it convincing. "American" pictures, though they are Westerns, seldom depend on the obvious. The first part of this picture, showing how the outlaw took the cowboy's horse, and also how, after he had directed the sheriff, fell while climbing over rocks and was found by the outlaw, who helped him, tells a good human story. But that the girl the cowboy loved should fall in love with the outlaw on sight, and the cowboy risk his life to let the outlaw escape is somewhat forced. It is surely a well-acted picture for the most part. It is only partly well photographed. It is a fair picture. - The Moving Picture World, October 21, 1911
