Plot
In 1860, Prudence (Love) and her six siblings are orphaned when their father is killed by bandits. Prudence becomes a surrogate mother to them, and moves the family from Southern California to New England to live with an old sailor uncle. When they learn that gold was discovered on their land in California, they all return to claim the gold by fighting the bandits who have taken over their land.[3][6][7][8]
The film received generally positive reviews. The performances, especially those of the child actors, were praised as well.[11][12] Despite positive reviews for Bessie Love's performance,[13] it was noted that she was not yet a box office draw.[11][14]
