A Western story that is well acted and very interesting. It is a melodrama, not very convincing nor gripping, yet with good pictures of wild life, such as a thirsty trip across the desert in the search of a gold mine in an oasis. The two men were brothers, one a courageous, sterling character, the other an avaricious cowardly sneak. The girl was the granddaughter of an old miner whom the brothers had found dying in the desert. He told them of the mine and granddaughter, and asked them to look out for both. They get the girl and, with a good equipment, start out across the desert. After much hardship, they start back with rich ore. The question now is, who is going to marry the girl? The spectator wants the good man to win, but it looks as though the coward was to be the lucky one. The old miner's ghost appears and decides for the good man. It is not surely a feature picture, but will serve as a good filler. - The Moving Picture World, January 20, 1912
