The Dude from Duluth (Raymond Griffith) enters a seedy bar in San Francisco's Chinatown, where saucy confidence trickster Molly (Betty Compson) quickly swindles him out of every dime he has. But when he flashes a detective badge, Molly gives up her entire haul as a bribe, not realizing he's a fellow con man. Later, the pair team up to steal a priceless piece of jewelry, but, as they're being chased to the Mexican border, Molly regrets her life of crime and endeavors to go straight.

Jack Lait Variety Apr 15, 2024
It is a glittering masterpiece of entertainment, directed with a flashing sense of humor, acted to the last drop of blood, a thing of high thrills and low laughs, and an all-around ace of comedy-drama feature films. Go to Full Review

Raymond Griffith is a splendid comedian. Nobody will have any doubt of that after seeing Paths to Paradise. Go to Full Review
Mordaunt Hall New York Times Mar 25, 2006
Raymond Griffith and Betty Compson head the cast in this picture. They appear to have been inspired by the subtle comedy in the different sequences and never permit a situation to pass without making the most of it. Go to Full Review

Paths to Paradise [is] Raymond Griffith’s best picture to date. It is really a knockout. Go to Full Review
Shadow Stage Photoplay Apr 15, 2024
[A] comedy that proves to be a riot with laughs from beginning to end. This is a splendid crook comedy with the silk hat comedian, Raymond Griffith, and Betty Compson in the featured roles. As for Griffith -- each production marks a step forward. Go to Full Review
