Cast

Adele and Maud were daughters of actor F. C. Appleton. Robert Inman was married to Adele.

Production

Filming took place in late 1919 in a temporary studio in the Melbourne suburb of Coburg with additional scenes shot on the outskirts of Melbourne at Croydon and Warburton.[3] Cameron's store in Kilsyth was used for the bank in Euroa.[4]

Release

At the time the New South Wales government had banned films on bushranging but this movie escaped it, most likely due to its opening warning against breaking the law. The movie was reasonably successful.[2]
