This is not great movie, but also not a bad one. It plays a little quickly, but things did move at a more brisk pace in these early movies, most lasting roughly an hour. A bit uneven, with an ending I didn't particularly like, but with some good scenes. Olive Thomas, who cranked out five films that year, not counting an uncredited cameo in another, does a decent job with this role, getting better with each film.
