Contemporary reviews describe A Silent Witness as a detective drama, and the Muswellbrook Chronicle adds that it 'suited the tastes of all, as the plot was not too deep to follow' (20 November 1912, p.2), but otherwise newspapers give little information on the actual plot.
1 form y separately published work icon The Strangler's Grip ( dir. Leonard Willey et. al. )agent Australia : West's Pictures , 1912 6199888 1912 single work film/TV thriller crime

'"The Strangler's Grip" is a sensational story of a woman's encounter with a tramp. It shows John Dalton, a squatter, having a quiet evening with his wife, when he receives a telegram calling him from home on urgent business. His wife implores him to stay, as she has a presentiment of danger to herself. He assures her all will be well, as she can ring him up on the 'phone. Besides, old Simon, the butler, will protect her. Some time after John's departure a tramp makes his appearance. Then the sensational aspect of the story is illustrated. It is a picture full of excitement.'
