According to one contemporary report "The scene opens in an English inn, but through an attack being made on the inn, the drunken scoundrel who attempts to force the heroine's hand is transported to Australia. Two years after the scene is removed to Australia. The villain, escaping from prison, attempts to force- the heroine's hand, and is frustrated by the appearance of her husband.
