A war story of characteristic excellence

A two-reel war story of characteristic excellence, featuring as the villain a sharpshooter, who is the rival of Jack, the hero. The opening scenes depict Jack as a young blacksmith, in love with the girl, who hesitates between himself and his rival. War is declared and both enlist, on opposing sides. During the fighting the sharpshooter wounds Jack, who is imprisoned. Later he makes his escape. The death of the drummer boy at the hands of the sharpshooter is pathetic. Good photography and a story of definite plot and interest. - The Moving Picture World, February 15, 1913
