The story is a good one

This is the third of the "Who Pays?" series. Its three reels are, as is usual with the dramas appearing in this series, superceded by a short allegory symbolic in part of what is to follow. The story is a good one, and has the moral significance of the title of the series. It is a story of how a man forgot his honor in trying to cater to the demands of an extravagant wife. The brother of the woman tries to help him out, and in doing so lands in a convict's cell, while the others suffer the unhappiness brought about through the realization of having done wrong, and of having brought about results that can never be recalled. - The Moving Picture World, May 22, 1915
