AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'It is a story of the days of the bushrangers, and there are many exciting scenes of encounters between the cattlemen and the cattle thieves. There is also a terrifying scene of a forest fire, and some of the incidents take place on the goldfields. Great interest centres in Ned Kelly's last great stand against the law, which finally proved itself too strong for him. A charming romance runs through the whole production.'
