However his old associates, led by Yellow Rose, are keen to get him to participate in a bank robbery. John refuses, the robbery goes ahead and Yellow Rose hides some stolen papers. John is blamed and the gang's hiding place is raided. John manages to escape the police, clear his name and reunite with Lady Norton.[3] [4]
The film was the last production of the Australian Life Biograph Company and was likely made prior to May 1912 when the company shut down.[5]
