A four-reel sensational and in part humorous melodrama. The story has not been made convincing and depends upon the speed and sensational quality of its incidents to keep one from noticing the lack, at certain points, of true logic in its development. For example, why did the butler who was to "turn state's evidence" run away? The thief was in reality as proved by the denouement, the capitalist himself, walking in his sleep, but the jealous banker who loves the rich man's daughter manages to get the secretary suspected, his intention being to get him out of the way so that the road would be, so he hoped, clear for his love-making. The staging, the photography and the acting, for the most part, are of good quality. And there are acceptable touches of humor in the action, - The Moving Picture World, June 27, 1914
