The desert scenes were very good

A two-reel production with Wm. S. Hart in the leading role. The opening scenes catch the interest at once, picturing a lawless western town in which a sheriff is about to be elected by order of the government. The residents, as a joke, elect the girl's father, a drunken reprobate, whom they afterward annoy exceedingly. The Man from Nowhere then shows up, falls in love with the girl and acts as deputy sheriff. The desert scenes were very good, but the plot was not quite so interesting here. It would have been interesting to see more of the unwilling sheriff. A good western number. - The Moving Picture World, May 8, 1915
