Based on Dion Boucicault and Joseph Jefferson's play Rip van Winkle; or, The Sleep of Twenty Years (1866), which had had several successful seasons on the Australian stage prior to the film's production. The film is relatively unusual for early Australian film, in having a strongly fantastical focus.
