I thought it was quite terrible, actually. Not only does it fall prey to all the usual problems of the era - hilarious overacting, no discernible characters at all, and a difficulty in conveying the story - but it stretches a five minute concept out way too long. Once the climax hits, you're wondering why it didn't happen sooner. This sounds like I'm being too harsh on this film because it's old, but I'm not willing to give silent films a break just because they're silent. They still need to tell a story well, and this film simply didn't do that.
