A fascinating story of life on the plains, showing how even a bad man found his heart and developed a strain of goodness he did not know he possessed when he found a girl and her father in need of assistance. He brings them safely to town where they can obtain medicines, but in doing so subjects himself to arrest. However, when the sheriff understands what the desperado has done he permits him to go free on his promise that he will mend his ways. With no killing, without even a suspicion of a love story, this film is strangely interesting. There is a whole lot of humanity represented in it, and one feels something of the inspiration of an optimism which inculcates the belief that there is some good in everyone, provided that the means for discovering it can be found. Perhaps nothing makes such a strong appeal as weakness, and sometimes, as is so graphically shown in this film, much good is accomplished even by those who are weak and apparently helpless. - The Moving Picture World, August 13, 1910
