Trivia
According to the note shown before this short film (appearing as a bonus feature on the "Orphans of the Storm" DVD in the "Griffith Masterworks" box set), "Henry B. Walthall is credited as the film's star, but D.W. Griffith actually plays the leading male role."

Connections
Edited into Plus Oh! (1996)

The lesson learned: Don't leave babies where eagles can steal them. This is a pretty ambitious little film with D.W. Griffith the hero. I did enjoy the fight with the eagle on the cliff and the weirdness of the baby being carried by an eagle barely flapping its wings. I'm sure expectations were pretty low and this satisfied the viewing public pretty well.
