This film, which does not survive, was one of four completed by William Haggar in 1902 with actors from his theatrical company: the others include "The Wild Man of Borneo" which The Warwick Trading Co. describes in its catalogue as "A duel between a knight and a hermit in a forest". These four films were among William Haggar's earliest experiments with filmed dramas, and were to lead on to his better known film, "The Life of Charles Peace" and "The Sign of the Cross". The four films were sold on the open market by William's friend Charles Urban, at that time Managing Director of The Warwick Trading Co.
