AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Young Dick, a digger on the New South Wales goldfields, falls in love with Polly, the local Parson's daughter. However, upon the Parson's death his daughter is sent to distant relatives somewhere in Queensland, where she is treated harshly by her shallow and pretentious relatives, the Dandicrats. Dick, having come into a substantial inheritance, sets out to find Polly and declare his love. He succeeds and they marry, and along the way the Dandicrats are exposed for the fools they are.
