This nicely worked out two-reel production is based on a short story by O. Henry. Calliope is a bad man who gets to be worse, until he begins shooting people too wantonly, when the sheriff of a Western county and his deputy start after him to run him down and kill him. They meet with him at a railway station in which he and the sheriff have a gunfight, interrupted by the sudden appearance of Calliope's mother, who has come from the East to see him. She thinks he is a good man, and in order to keep her faith in him whole, the sheriff and Calliope call off their fight. Afterward Calliope reforms and shows his good will to remain good by capturing some bank robbers. The film shows good material throughout. It makes a desirable offering. - The Moving Picture World, October 18, 1913
