The story is not logical at all times
by deickemeyer2017-09-10

"The best part of this picture is the ending, which is well worked out. The story is not logical at all times. Edwin Carewe has the role of a son who marries in spite of his father's prohibition, and when compelled to go to work obtains a job as chauffeur. Later, when his father is his fare, he kidnaps him and holds him a prisoner until the bride releases him, wins his gratitude and also his blessing. - The Moving Picture World, June 7, 1913..."
