Dampier and Walch's stage version changes the novel so Dick Marston and Captain Starlight survive and can be pardoned. The villain Dan Moran holds Sir Ferdinand captive at Terrible Hollow; Starlight rescues him, and Moran later attempts to stab Dick, but Kate Morrison is killed saving him. The adaptation also gives Inspector Goring a more villainous role in harassing Aileen.
Dampier’s rewrite moves the bushranger drama entirely to Australia and changes the hero to Edgar, son of a wealthy station owner, who becomes Captain Midnight. The play ends with Edgar marrying Thelma, leaving Elsa alone.
Set in the American West, this melodrama was built to feature showman W. F. Carver and his Wild America Troupe in a dramatic story. Its production included a large water tank, live ducks, canoe stunts, and horses.
