AustLit

A version of the Cinderella story. May never have been released (no contemporary reviews have so far been traced), and was considered entirely lost until a series of production and publicity stills were uncovered by an intern at the National Film and Sound Archive.

'You will like this flashing drama of Australia's outback because of the thrills; because of the glorious romance of it; because its [sic] "Dinkum Aussie;" because its hero is a real man; because its heroine is one of Australia's own out-door sunset girls–and won't you love her! You'll like it because of all that–and more! If you've never been out in the bush, come now! If you do know the glory of the bush–and maybe its hardships, too–we won't have to ask you to come to see this picture. The lure of it will get into your blood–every old memory will crowd your brain–you'll smell the gum-leaves and the wattle–it will take you right back home. See Snowy Baker in a hundred new stunts; see him take a header with a horse into the river; see the great kangaroo hunt with hundreds of kangaroos and horses; the buck-jumping in the stock-yard-and all the thrills that run riot in this big feature!'

'The spectators followed the new story from the Rocky Mountains to Seattle, and the hero and heroine were shipwrecked under thrilling circumstances whilst crossing the Pacific before reaching Queensland and Sydney. The film included also the first representation In Australia of the snows of Mount Kosciusko, and in other ways justified the applause of the audience.'
