AbstractHistoryArchive Description

One of three films based on the Broadway play by Augustin MacHugh, but the only one made in Australia: the 1914 and the 1920 films by the same name were made in the US.

Like Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford, whose production preceded this film's, Officer 666 was made to take advantage of the presence in Australia of American actor-director Fred Niblo.

The film's plot followed a wealthy man who, catching wind of a plot to rob his house while he was holidaying, remains in the district disguised as a policeman.
