Reception
The Film Daily reviewed the film, calling it a "melodrama" with "all the old reliable hokum," criticizing it for a lack of originality. However, the reviewer felt that the film would find an audience with people who wanted "action and thrills."[1]
In Movie Age, S.M. White wrote the film was "As full of thrills as a serial. Will stand them up in their seats."[3]
