It was made by the Gaumont Agency who also made Call of the Bush (1912).[4]
It is possible the movie was based on a collection of short stories called The Opium Runners by FRC Hopkins, who had also written All for Gold.[5][6]
It was advertised as "A Picture that makes you rise from your scat' with excitement A Story with a Perfect Plot and Excop tional' Acting, 'showing many Pretty Typical Scenes of the Australian Bush."[7]
