A fair farce comedy situation is well handled in this picture which a large audience seemed to find very amusing. The reward was $50, offered for the arrest of a mysterious couple who were entering houses, temporarily vacant, to rob. A young married couple leave their apartment to pay a visit to their parents in the country. The old folks, that same morning, come to the city to visit them. Also the young wife has asked a friend to look after and feed her dog, and, without knowing this, the young husband has asked a friend of his to do the same. Together, they all manage to get the situation into a skilfully made tangle. The camera work is very fair. - The Moving Picture World, June 1, 1912
