    A fairly strong offering

    A Western offering in which two tramps kidnap a young girl and hold her father up for ransom. The girl writes a note at their demand, and indites a message under the stamp. The playing child soaks the stamp off and her whereabouts is thus learned. This makes a fairly strong offering. - The Moving Picture World, November 28, 1914
