A four-reel melodrama in which a young lawyer wins a girl by saving her innocent brother from the electric chair. It is overdrawn melodrama, not at all artistic, but, although it would have been the better for condensation, it has action; the story keeps going. There's a freshly conceived "third degree" episode in which a confession is wrung from the innocent youth by the police. There are also other good things as a realistic (actual) fire scene and a fine trial picture. The acting is acceptable except in those scenes in the house of the real murderer, in which two players' rather lame work marred somewhat. The camera work is fair. - The Moving Picture World, March 14, 1914
