The intertitles were edited/rewritten for this 1923 re-release and there are no surviving film or script materials from the 1916 release. However, trade synopses and reviews confirm that the film remained largely unchanged just maybe tightened up some

Since there’re no known surviving prints of the original release of “The Good Bad Man” (1916) this restoration was made using a 1923 re-release print that occurred when the Mutual and Triangle Film companies were liquidated.
