A film version of the story of the Kelly Gang.

According to contemporary reviews:

'The picture shows the Kelly home and the misunderstandings there with the trooper Fitzpatrick, which really caused the taking to the bush of the young outlaws. Among other events shown are the holding-up of Younghusband Station, the robbing of the bank at Jerilderie, the battle at Glenrowan, and the last stand of Ned Kelly in his famous armour.'
