Contemporary reviews of Beerbohm Tree's production offer the following synopsis:

'[Its] story is mainly concerned with the proceedings of a certain lawless individual who, after a career of bush-ranging in Australia, obtains a footing in an English county family, becomes engaged to a charming girl, then, being wanted by the police, takes an unceremonious leave of his fine friends, and finally cuts short his career with a revolver.'
