Described in contemporary advertising as 'romantic and sensational', The Lady Outlaw followed a woman who pursued her convict lover to Tasmania, where she heard rumours of his escape and death in the mountains. Seeking revenge, she set herself up as a bushranger, accompanied by a posse of escaped convicts–only to find that her lover was still alive and married to another woman.
According to contemporary advertisements,
Some of the scenes: "Arrested for Forgery," '"Transported for Life," "A Woman's Devotion," "Lieutenant Dashwood Escapes," "Struggle on the Cliffs," "Dashed to Death," "A Bid for Freedom," "A Free Pardon.," etc.
