The duel was unusual and memorable
by deickemeyer2018-05-13

"This two-reel offering consumes considerable time getting the plot threads together, but proves well worthwhile after this is accomplished. King Baggott appears as the defender of his sister's honor. The duel with swords on the snow-covered ground was unusual and memorable. He kills bis opponent and later the Frenchman's brother marries his sister, after vowing vengeance. The manner in which the child averted the second tragedy was very clever. A good release. - The Moving Picture World, February 28, 1914..."
