Too sentimental to carry much force

The young husband, who has lost his job and is forced to send his wife back to her father, thinks he will pick up a stray cat to take to her. As he takes hold of the feline, a small boy shoots him with an air gun, from a nearby window. He is taken into the house and gets a job as chauffeur as a result of the injury, and is, of course, reunited with his wife. Somehow the story impressed us as a little too sentimental to carry much force, and the characterizations were not quite what they might have been. We have liked the leading man in this better in parts more suited to his general build and appearance. - The Moving Picture World, July 12, 1913
