A Voice in the Wilderness (1915)
Like a flash out of his old life in England, Stingaree, riding close to the settlement, hears the voice of Ethel, his former sweetheart. The two meet face to face, and the bushranger learns that Ethel, forced by family misfortune to earn her own livelihood, has come to Australia to become a companion to Mrs. Clarkson. Stingaree is informed that there is to be a concert at which Mrs. Clarkson will sing. That night, Stingaree and his partner, Howie, burst in upon the audience while Mrs. Clarkson is singing. Holding the people at pistol's point, Stingaree compels Ethel, seated next to Mrs. Clarkson, to mount the platform and sing. Sir Julian Crum, a famous musician touring Australia, accompanies the girl on the piano. The song ended, Stingaree and Howie flee. Clarkson follows Stingaree and attempts to shoot the bushranger, only to find his weapon unloaded. Later, Ethel, whose voice has made a tremendous impression, confesses to having extracted the cartridge from the weapon. The ovation which followed Ethel's singing, together with the fact that Stingaree had eluded her husband, arouses Mrs. Clarkson's ire and she discharges Ethel. Sir Julian promptly engages the girl to accompany him on his tour. Back in his hidden retreat, Stingaree's thoughts go back to England, Ethel and to the happiness he had once known.
