    The early scenes of this picture have much of the thrill and some of the deep interest of an epic. The scene is set for a struggle between cow men and sheep men. The two can't live in the same country, for sheep eat a pasture up; cows die behind them. In the midst of this struggle, as shown in the picture, a love story develops. The sheep man's son rescues the cow man's daughter from stampeding cattle, her father's. This rescue has no convincing reality. The cattle have already stopped and the girl is in no danger. The result of this incident brings even the two inimical fathers together. The photographs are not so well planned or made as it was possible to make them, but they are very interesting, and the story while not important is fair. - The Moving Picture World, September 30, 1911
