The war scenes are vivid

A strong three-reel war subject. In the first reel we see the young officer wooing the Colonel's daughter in order to gain promotion. They are married, without the father's know-ledge, but the husband is promoted. He deserts his wife before their child is born. Twenty years elapse and the son becomes a soldier and a spy. Father and son meet in the midst of warfare, the son being the "boomerang" sent to punish his father for his early sins. The war scenes are vivid and picturesque, particularly the one where the bridge is blown up. Later the father and grandfather meet in a fatal duel. A strong war offering. - The Moving Picture World, May 31, 1913
