Story of the illicit drug traffic

This is a two-part story of the illicit drug traffic, written by Paul Powell and shows the strenuous efforts and dangerous stunts a young special agent, in the custom service, is forced to go through with before he succeeds in landing his men. Some fine water scenes are shown, where a revenue cutter pursues and overtakes a private yacht, which is used by the smugglers. There is a love theme, of course, in which the young agent's sweetheart saves his life. L.C. Shumway and Velma Whitman deserve mention. - The Moving Picture World, October 17, 1914
