An orange grove picture story, taken in Florida. The girl is boss of the grove. A stranger, coming in to see the grove, finds her at work, dressed in overalls. This meeting is followed, a few weeks later, by a love scene set up in a great tree with branches like immense arms. The boss later finds that the man is married. The man's sick wife is neglected; the disillusioned girl, the boss, is also despondent. Each is on the point of drowning herself; but the boss rescues the wife. The girls comfort each other. It is pretty well photographed in interesting backgrounds, but it is slight. A good, romantic filler. - The Moving Picture World, April 13, 1912
