AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A film version of the life of Captain Moonlite, from his initial arrest to his capture by police. The film is said to be based on a play by the same name written by W.J. Lincoln.

According to a contemporary review:

'The robbing of the Egerton Bank, the fight with the Victorian police at M'Creedy's farm, the sticking up of the gold escort, the struggle at Wantabadgery Station, and the capture of Moonlite, are all vividly represented, and the numerous little glimpses of Australian scenery enhance the pleasure of the picture.'
