One of the secrets of the freshness nearly always found in Nestor pictures, even these Westerns, is the skill with which, not only interesting, but appropriate backgrounds are chosen and given a place in the story. They are also enacted naturally, all speedy action is done at breakneck pace. As in this picture, the stories are also usually well laid out. Not much time is wasted with unimportant scenes, actions or characters that do not influence the real heart of the story, the truly vital part on which it depends for its strongest interest. They are love stories, and it is a truism to remark that these, when well acted and convincing, are always fresh. Add to these qualities vivid photography and one reason for their popularity is found. Betty Keller and Lee Moran play the leads in this love story in which the sheriff, who also loves the girl, is kept from arresting the true lover, who has just shot his man in self-defense. - The Moving Picture World, June 8, 1912
