Follows a recognized melodramatic formula

A Western story, by the American company, with bar-room and dance hall scenes, some beautiful, natural back grounds and thrilling action. The gambler (played by Geo. Gibbert) is a "character." Dressed in fashionable clothes, his presence in the tough beer saloon marks him out as a dominating personality, also differentiates him. The plot, which is well handled, follows a recognized melodramatic formula. We now have the strong gambler falling in love with a good girl and deciding to reform. The villain of the picture abducts this girl. A girl of the dance hall, who passionately loves the gambler, warns him of it and he, with the cowboys, rides hard to the rescue. We think it a very fair picture, entertaining and well photographed. - The Moving Picture World, June 22, 1912
