He gets the credit of a heroic rescue really performed by a life-saving dog. He is nothing more or less than a short-changing conductor on a surface line of cars. He loses ground when this is discovered and decides to send the bridegroom a poisoned bottle of wine. The bridegroom sends a note of thanks, saying that he and the bride will drink the wine on their wedding trip. Adventures thereafter hinge on Conklin's frantic efforts to reach the train on which the bridal couple are traveling. The chases of this train by his car and an ambulance would make the most lurid melodrama thrilling. It is partly trick work, but it is of a very high order, preserving the illusion of reality to a thrilling degree. The farce is replete with comic incident, professional in its thoroughness and activity from start to finish. Written by Moving Picture World, May 11, 1918 See less
