It was advertised that ex-governor William Sulzer played the part of himself in this exposé of how Tammany (Democrat) politicians manoeuvred his impeachment. (Billboard, 8 November 1913) However, observers doubted this, one remarked that "The player who enacted the role in the picture shown looked as much like Sulzer as Jack Dalton resembles George Cohan. And he surely was a bad actor." (Buffalo Evening News, 1 December 1913)
