A finished and even artistic picture
deickemeyer24 September 2017
A sensational two part offering well described by its name. It was written by Lawrence McCloskey and produced by Joseph Smiley. The story cannot be called a big one; but it has been produced with care and impresses one as a finished and even artistic picture. Its appeal is to the emotions, not to the intellect, and its center of interest is a girl, very charming in herself (Peggie O'Neil), who consents to be the decoy of two crooks. They set her to gaining the confidence of a jewel merchant, who is to be their victim, and she ends by falling in love with him. Afraid to have him find out her past and threatened by the two crooks, she lets the plot go on and works with them until his gems are stolen. The action of the second reel takes place on a train and an exciting automobile race follows the discovery of the robbery. This series of incidents is of the most sensational character, is clearly photographed and effective. It will be a popular picture. - The Moving Picture World, July 19, 1913
