[2] “Three bandits, escaping from the scene of a bank robbery they have committed, are caught in a sand storm which serves to obliterate their trail, but works disaster in their immediate vicinity.
Miles away from any habitation, the methods employed by these hardy men to sustain life in the body of the newborn babe, and the tenderness in which they fulfill their strangely imposed mission, constitutes a remarkable example of human kindness.
The bandit turns the child over to his girl, and submits himself to the authority of the sheriff while recovering from the effects of his well-nigh fatal experience on the desert.
Then conscience overcomes his desire for freedom when he remembers that he has promised the mother to rear the baby boy in the path of rectitude.
Then it is that the sheriff stretches his authority to the extent of giving to the bandit and his girl the reward that has been offered for the bank robbers, dead or alive, and the story ends with the apparent prospect of a happy and useful future for all concerned.” - synopsis by The Moving Picture World.
