There is usually just one thing that keeps a man down:--lack of determination, and resolve to finish what he starts. No exercise, and the habit of thinking things over in a cloud of smoke will continue to keep down his resolve and determination, and the point at which most men quit is usually that at which one more kick would put them across onto the winning side...

Nor are Kistmaecker and the adaptor--Paul Kester--any exceptions to the rule: for while the dialogue is occasionally interesting, the plot is hopelessly stereotyped. Thus such lines as, "Pan--that gay little goatlegged...
