Put on in spirited fashion

A two-reel story of love and politics. The hero is a young lawyer, Jim Rodgers, in love with a girl named Helen. He goes to the city and she promises to wait for him. But she falls in love with another and marries him. Five years later Jim is a judge and the husband is tried before him for murder. He sentences him to twenty years in prison for manslaughter. Later he repents and runs for governor in order to be in a position to pardon him, feeling that his sentence was unjust. The election scenes at the close are put on in spirited fashion and are the strongest feature of the production. The photography is good throughout. - The Moving Picture World, March 13, 1915
