A prisoner escapes from a moving train, captures a horse and is chased by a posse through a country of beautiful trees. He takes refuge in an empty cabin. A few minutes later the posse brings in the owner of it, wounded by a blast. The shock of the blast has paralyzed the man's arms. From his hiding place the prisoner sees the man's wife spread The savings of ten years out on the table beside the wounded miner, telling him to imagine that someone is stealing it. The prisoner comes from his hiding and attempts to steal it, but the miner gets the use of his arms again very quickly. The central situation of the picture gets over effectively and there is an amused response to it in the audience. The picture doesn't drag; it's a good number. - The Moving Picture World, January 6, 1912
