A familiar subject for pictures

by deickemeyer • 2019-08-12

"A well-photographed two-reel offering, telling the story of a revenue officer in the land where illicit stills are run. He makes love to the daughter of the mountaineer, ruins her and escapes. Later he is lured back to a cave where treasure is supposed to be hidden, and killed. This deals with a familiar subject for pictures, but in a strong, compelling way. The story rises to its gripping end convincingly. - The Moving Picture World, January 23, 1915..."
