This story deals with two professional criminals, played by Grace Cunard and Francis Ford. The photography is clear and the scenes hold the interest in spite of a certain vagueness in the plot at the close of the first red. In the end the woman thief saves the man by replacing the stolen jewels and both reform and start married life on a limited sum of money. - The Moving Picture World, November 1, 1913
