The film is very loosely based on Paul Dresser's song/poem On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away. The film was an expensive production with full-size riverboat steamboat and location shooting. It was one of the last major productions by Vitagraph Studios before they were bought by Warner Brothers.
The film stars 14-year-old Madge Evans, Mary Carr, and James W. Morrison. The cameraman was Nicholas Musuraca. The film is now considered a lost film.[1]
