This two-reel special is in spots strongly melodramatic, and interesting throughout. Harry Meyers and Ethel Clayton have the leads. The feature of the picture is a big fire, in which is shown the action of the fire department from the sounding of the alarm to the rescue on ladders of the imprisoned businessman and burglar. It was the latter who started the fire when he dropped a match after lighting his dark lantern. There is a good scene in a telephone exchange when the telephone operator, in love with the man struggling with a burglar, hears the sounds of the battle when the receiver in the office is knocked from its hook. The rescue of the two men imprisoned in the burning building is thrilling. In the first reel there is a vein of comedy when three suitors for the hand of a girl meet in her parlor. - The Moving Picture World, April 12, 1913
