The script held in the Crawford Collection in the AFI Research Collection contains the following character notes (excluding regular characters):
'TRACEY MILLS 40. A tough, but very intelligent ex-massage parlour lady who has battled her way up to where she owns her own salon. In all, a very sympathetic character.
'CNCR. BRADEN SMITH: 50. A very prominent and influential councillor of Yarra Central. Under the guise of a man bent on reform he is, in fact, the owner of several brothels and parlours.
'SIMON SMITH: 22. His arrogant, very scruffy son.
'SYDNEY MARTIN: 55. A very devious man, associated with Cncr. Smith. A practising solicitor, who is very unpopular with the Police of Yarra Central because of the many clashes he has had with them in the past.
'ANGEL WOOD: 25. A pretty masseuse employed by Tracey. (A nice kid)
'FREDDIE JACKSON: 35. Tracey's boy-friend and protector. Simple, a man who relies on force as a solution to everything. His weakness shows when he betrays her in favour of the big strength.
'MICK CONNORS: 30. A heavy employed by Smith. Also a council workman.
'"FRIENDLY" FLYNN: 30. A heavy employed by Smith. He is a foreman on the Council work staff.
