A dramatic railroad picture, showing a town hemmed in by a prairie fire. The railroad is the town's only hope. One engineer alone can get his train there in time to save the inhabitants, but the engineer's wife is dying. He leaves the bedside and takes his train in and brings out the people. There was an actual fire utilized and many of the picture scenes are very well suggested. Not all are perfect, but the impression they give, taken together, is very pleasing. It is a picture that probably will be talked about; it is deeply emotional and its sensations are all wholesome. It is a sure feature. The photographs are good. - The Moving Picture World, February 24 1912
