Weird, oriental atmosphere

This two-reel film gives us a new kind of Sherlock Holmes, a younger and heavier built man than we usually see in the part. But once the story gets into action, with its weird, oriental atmosphere, we forget everything else. The story of the Agra treasure is pictured for us in an intensely fascinating manner. The one-legged man, the East Indian with his blow-pipe, the Sholtos, the Baker Street lodgings, the scenes in India, and the various exciting episodes combine to make this a successful offering. The treasure never comes into the hands of the rightful owner, Mary, as it was cast into the river. A strong production of a famous narrative. - The Moving Picture World, March 8, 1913
