1 form y separately published work icon The Lust for Gold ( dir. Roy Darling ) Sydney : Olympic Films , 1922 7838474 1922 single work film/TV

In newspaper reports during the film's production, Roy Darling offered the following synopsis:

The picture to be filmed is a comedy drama with an enthralling central idea and an exciting plot, which, Mr. Darling feels sure, will appeal to Australians. A millionaire's son is wearied of all things, and seeks an adventure. The results are thrilling.
