Featured review
Poorly Directed
Hedda Hopper has been speculating in the market and lost everything. Bryant Washburn says his trust for millionaire Nick Stuart is about to be dissolved. They decide a niece for Mrs. Hopper will repair the holes in each of their finances by marrying young Mr. Stuart. Fortunately(!) the train they are on has a wreck, and Marceline Day escapes custody. Mrs. Hopper immediately adopts her and the plan moves forward.
It's a good set-up, although fans of old movies will find few novelties in its execution. The senior pair are good in their acting; the youngsters a bit stiff. Although Hampton Del Ruth inserted several funny bits in the movie, like Al Cooke and Carol Tevis as quarreling newlyweds, director Phil Whitman doesn't seem to integrate them into the story. Even the title seems to have been chosen to suggest thrills that never appear; the only mystery having to do with trains here is why they keep crashing when the principal actors are on them.
