Unlike many Australian silent films, it still survives today.
Plot
Money-hungry Gilbert Hordern is married to an adoring wife and has a child. He pretends to be his own evil twin brother so he can marry a millionaire's daughter. He succeeds but is wracked with guilt and confesses. He wakes up and realises it was all a dream.
Cast
Production
The film was shot in suburban Sydney in mid 1920 under the title The Golden Flame. Commercial reception appears to have been poor.
