Generally better than some more ambitious undertakings
A two-reel production telling a simple but well-acted story, which is consistent throughout and generally better than some more ambitious undertakings. A little girl becomes locked in an old-fashioned safety vault and the obstacle presented is to get her out, the key being gone. Everything is tried by the excited father, played by Alec Francis. An expert safe cracker is brought from the penitentiary, but succeeds only in drilling a hole through the door. At last the key turns up, the bookkeeper having taken it away from the son, who had stolen it in order to obtain money for his mother, living separately from her husband. This makes quite a story, though it is built around a stock situation. - The Moving Picture World, May 10, 1913
