The movie broke into the following chapters:
It was the only movie Gavin made for the Australian Photo-Play Company, and was the last of four he had made in association with Stanley Crick and Herbert Finlay before setting up his own company in July 1911.[4][5]
The movie was announced as being completed and available for screening by July 1911, but does not appear to have been released until the following year.[6]
During a screening in Toowoomba an Irish member of the audience took exception to a scene where a convict was being flogged and attacked the screen before being guided back to his seat.[7]
