A picture in and around a jail in Old Mexico. The jailer gets sick. We see how his prisoner is helped to his escape. The jailer's daughter, Jean, gets her sweetheart, Jose, to follow and bring back the prisoner. This is accomplished before the Governor finds out the absence. There are dramatic incidents in it, but it isn't a dramatic picture. The story is a mere episode without special depth or significance and it seems a little slow. Jose has a struggle on the edge of a ravine with the escaped prisoner and rolls over it with him. At this the audience, who had seen something not unlike it once or twice before, laughed. The photographs are fair. It is a filler. - The Moving Picture World, April 13, 1912
