Cast
Production
The film was shot at Australian Life Biograph's factory in Manly, New South Wales. Unlike many Australian films of the time, it was an original script, not based on a play. The author was Patrick William Marony.
The story is founded on fact. In an old cell at Norfolk Island may be seen the following inscription: "I, Jasper Hugh Lovel, here proclaim, before God and man, I am innocent. May God avenge me on mine enemy."
