AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A romance with thriller elements, typical of stage melodramas.

Phyllis Weston, a wealthy, high-society girl, is being simultaneously courted by affable Jack Stacey and villainous Robson. Robson attempts to rid himself of his rival by, first, sabotaging his boat during a yacht race and, second, convincing his sister to trap Jack in a compromising situation. Both attempts fail.

Notes

  • Sheila Preston's screenplay was the outcome of a competition run by Advance Films to find a new, Australian story. See 'Movies and Mummers', Sunday Times, 10 July 1927, p.15 for details of the competition.
