Plot
In England, Jessie Grey is about to marry Leonard Lincoln but the evil Harold Hawk tries to force her to marry him and she wounds him with a gun. Hawk is arrested and sentenced to imprisonment in Australia. Leonard and Jessie get married and move to Australia. Hawk escapes from gaol and tries to get his revenge by kidnapping Jessie.Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production, Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p43
According to one contemporary report "The scene opens in an English inn, but through an attack being made on the inn, the drunken scoundrel who attempts to force the heroine's hand is transported to Australia. Two years after the scene is removed to Australia. The villain, escaping from prison, attempts to force- the heroine's hand, and is frustrated by the appearance of her husband. He shoots himself to escape the penalty."
