It happened at the Kankakee District Fair. While the Grahams are looking at the prize cattle and new agricultural machines, Warren, the picture's hero, is losing all his cash to a three card monte man. When his money is gone he risks a locket that his sweetheart, Miss Graham, had given him. He thinks he has been cheated and makes a disturbance for which he is arrested. The Grahams, simple farmer folk, drive sadly home alone. Warren, disgraced, later gets work in the city and his engagement with Miss Graham is broken off. The reparation is made by the sharper, because he fell in love with Miss Graham and discovered that she still loved Warren. The picture is well designed and naturally acted. It may not wholly convince the cynical, but it's pretty- effective. - The Moving Picture World, October 21, 1911
