One of the most important and interesting branches of the great metropolitan police force of today is the Italian bureau. For years it was found almost impossible to cope with a certain class of Italian criminals because the detectives had little or no knowledge of the Italian language and were not sufficiently familiar with the methods employed by the blackmailers and kidnappers who come to our shores from the dregs of Italy. But now things are greatly changed. Every big city has a distinct section of the detective force made up of courageous and honest men of Italian birth, and these men are devoting their whole time to rounding up and punishing Italian criminals. And so successful have they been that Black Hand crimes have been practically blotted out in all of our large centers. And when one of these criminals is caught he is punished to the full extent of the law. In the splendid moving picture drama which we are about to show you we will give you a very clear idea of the manner in which these Italian detectives work and we trust that our picture will help in the good work of proving to all Black Handers that America is no place for them to operate. – The Moving Picture World, January 30, 1909
