Production
The film was shot at Australian Life Biograph's factory in Manly, New South Wales.[4] 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."[5]
