The story kills two reels and needs every foot
deickemeyer18 March 2017
There is only one fault we notice in this picture and that is its name. In the first place, it isn't a picture of the civilian, but of the lieutenant whose courage contrasts with the civilian's cowardice. These two men and the pretty daughter of the colonel (Mae Marsh) furnish a love story. The disentangling of this comes about when a band of hostile Indians reach that part of the country. The three meet them several miles away from the fort and the scene is set for a most thrilling chase, perfectly constructed and full of incident and strategy. The story kills two reels and needs every foot. As a thrilling offering it is a sure feature and likely to make any audience enthusiastic. - The Moving Picture World, December 7, 1912
