    The morals of it and its kind leave a good deal to be desired

    A melodrama in which the girl from the East, who has married the rancher, is unhappy, being poor. She persuades her husband, an honest man (since he is a hero), to becomes president of a company he knows is not "on the square." It will get him money for her. Soon he is brought to book by cowboys whom the slick stranger who started the company has defrauded. The woman finds the sharper making for the train and forces him to disgorge. It is naturally acted and is more artistically done than most pictures dealing with this theme; but the morals of it and its kind leave a good deal to be desired. The author and producer is Wilbert Melville. Velma Whitman plays the leading woman's role with Raymond Gallagher opposite, and both of them deserve a better scenario. - The Moving Picture World, September 27, 1913
