 Cast: Robert Edeson, Rhea Mitchell New York Motion Picture Company production; distributed by Mutual Film Corporation [101-Bison]. / Produced by Thomas H. Ince. / Released 24 September 1912. / Standard 35mm spherical 1.33:1 format. Drama: Western. Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 5 October 1912, page 43] A melodrama of the Wild West which leaves nothing to be desired for those who enjoy bandits, bandit lore and bandit hunting. They kidnap a girl in this case, a doctor leads a sheriff’s posse to her rescue and some interesting and novel adventures follow. The production has an admirable setting in a rough mountain country and the photography is praiseworthy. Survival status: A fragmentary print exists in a private film collection.
