A reward is offered for the capture of Danny, and Felix McCann, who wanted to marry Danny's mother, because she owned a little land and a cottage, and was kicked out of the house by Danny, forges a note, purporting to come from Danny, who offers to betray his band if the British officer will give him freedom. Danny is about to be court-martialed when Rose finds the notes thrown away...

    This three-reel drama drops readily into the category of Irish plays and pictures from time immemorial. But it is enacted with dash and spirit; the costuming and settings are what they should be, and altogether there is no drag in the development of the picture. Most effective of all are the closing scenes, wherein the young priest passes himself off for Danny in order that the latter may escape to America with his wife. For this the priest sacrifices his life, and the escaping couple never know of this, First-class Irish drama of the conventional type. - The Moving Picture World, December 27, 1913
