A dream drama, in which a young married man out of work is helped by an old college chum. After the young fellow's future seems secure, he dozes off and dreams that his new situation brings all manner of ill-luck upon him. A happy awakening, and a pretty domestic picture, the college chum being introduced to his friend's wife and new baby, bring the film to a finish. A wholesome, well acted little drama. Iva Christy and Isabel Rea have the leading roles. - The Moving Picture World, April 3, 1915
