Production edit

The story was written by Madeleine Ruthven. It was made at the time there was a ban on such films being made in some Australian states.[5][6] The film was reportedly made in response to criticism of too many Westerns being set in America.[7] Frank Baker, brother of Snowy Baker had a role. Dale Austen was a former Miss New Zealand. This was her only Hollywood film.[8]
