"Sweedie is jilted by her sweetheart, captain of the police and decides to commit suicide. This is an original comedy and thoroughly enjoyable. Sweedie does not commit suicide but she thinks she does, when she wakes up she cleans out the police force and the whole town as usual. Very funny in a rough way. - The Moving Picture World, January 23, 1915..."
