Plot

Jack Rundle (Cyril Mackay) works on a station and falls in love with Nellie Fallon, his father's ward, Nellie Fallon (Mabel Dyson). When he goes to the city on business he falls into bad company, contracts syphilis and returns home to find himself an outcast. Years later he finds his brother Ted has married Nellie. He then kills himself.

Production

The film was shot in Adelaide, using pupils from Mathews' acting school.[3]

Release

There was some doubt over whether the movie would be released. But the South Australian censor passed it because they regarded it as having a moral message, although children under sixteen were not admitted.[4] Public response was very strong.[5][6]

The film was originally banned in New South Wales by the censor but this was overturned on appeal.[2]
