An unfortunately damaged film, which I mean literally. There is some heavy nitrate damage in some spots, and the second reel is entirely missing. Despite this, I did enjoy the movie, and consider myself lucky to get to see any film of Olive Thomas that has survived. The car chase at the end was good fun. Not the absolute best story, but good enough to keep my interest.
