There are some good desert scenes in the picture

It is not wise to make wills in anyone's favor if they know about it, is taught in this film. But not all persons would have the opportunity or the temerity to change sign hoards at a cross roads so as to deliberately lead an old man into a desert where he might starve or die of thirst merely to obtain his money. There are some good desert scenes in the picture, with the man groping blindly about and growing weaker every minute. Finally he is rescued by another niece and a young prospector and the inevitable love story breaks out, while the picture ends with the uncle rescued, the cowboys cheering and the girl in the arms of the young prospector. - The Moving Picture World, November 5, 1910
