A story in which "Bunkie," a soldier's horse, figures largely. It is fresh and interesting; at its climax it held the audience's attention very strongly. In fact, this part of the picture, so well conceived, so simply acted and conducted as it is, deserves high praise as a true work of art. Bunkie is owned by Lieutenant Brown (Hobart Bosworth) and in the early scenes saves his life after he had been badly wounded by Indians, The horse helps him up and then carries him safely to the post. His wounds bring on fever and delirium through which he is nursed by his fiancée and by an Apache girl, a sort of servant who also loves him. The climax, in which this Indian girl attempts to lead him in his delirium, away to her people so that he may marry her, is led up to by a fairly convincing train of circumstances. The horse follows. The drama, up to its denouement, is then carried forward by these three and is finely accomplished, Bosworth and the Apache maid both showing marked artistic work. Because of this, the picture may be relied upon as a safe feature. It is well photographed and of full length. - The Moving Picture World, February 17, 1912
