A Bushranger at Bay (1915)
Kentish, recently arrived from England, is astounded to discover in the locket dropped by Ethel Porter, a photo of Stingaree. The Englishman shrewdly suspects Ethel of being in love with the bushranger. Later, Kentish is a passenger on the stagecoach held up by Stingaree. When the bushranger departs with the stolen mail bags, Kentish follows. First, however, the man scribbles a note, which he requests the driver to deliver to the police inspector at the next station, with instructions that it be opened at six o'clock, should he fail to return with the mail bags. Hearing Kentish approach, Stingaree holds the man up. To the bushranger's amazement, the Englishman calmly informs him that he knows his real identity. He also tells Stingaree that unless the mail bags are delivered up to him, the letter in the police inspector's hands will inform this officer as to who the bushranger really is. It develops that Kentish had known Stingaree prior to the outlaw's' exile from England and that he entertains a strong feeling of sympathy for him. This, together with the desire that his identity remain secret, causes Stingaree to turn the mail bags over to Kentish and help the man reach the spot where the stagecoach is to pick him up. The Englishman returns to the station just in time to prevent his letter from being opened. The man hastens to see Ethel, to whom he tells his adventure. In the light which shines in the girl's eyes, Kentish finds his reward.
