This was a fun acquaintance! Australian multi-athlete turned silent movie star Rex 'Snowy' Baker! You get Douglas Fairbanks vibes off him. And it's exactly that type of adventure film you get. A Fairbanks B-adventure with Snowy being the likable hero doing stunts and full of boyish man-charm. The film kind of drifts off a little bit until becoming a western at the end with horse chases and the likes. And thus shows they could make entertaining movies Down Under in the silent days too.
