It is considered a lost film.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p. 55〕 ==Plot== In 1854, a young farmer, Stanley Gifford, leaves his girlfriend Violet in England and goes to seek his fortune in the goldfields. Stanley's letters to Violet are intercepted by the villainous Pellew Owen. Violet's father, Major Howard, is blackmailed by Pellew Owen into giving him Violet's hand in marriage after Howard shoots a man in a quarrel over cards. Pellew tires of Violent and abandons her, so she goes with her father to Ballarat to find Stanley. Her father dies of exhaustion and Violet is kidnapped by Pellew after interrupting a bank robbery. She is recused by police and Pellew is arrested, but set free after he agrees to be a police spy. The Eureka rebellion takes place in which a miner is killed, Bentley acquitted, and the hotel burnt down. Miners take refuge in the Eureka Stockade and Pellew is killed. Stanley is wounded, but he manages to escape with Violet and they are united. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Loyal Rebel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
