Set on the Victorian diggings. Norman Brent adopts a poor orphaned brother and sister on their arrival at Sandridge pier and takes them to his tent on the diggings. Tessa sickens and Ernest falls in love with Norman's girl - plotting murder as reward for his care ... Particularly interesting for its opposition of the young Tessa, and Laura, 'The Bad Woman' who is appropriately punished. (PB)
