The Taking of Stingaree (1915)
An intense rivalry exists between Inspectors Cairns and Kilbride, each being determined to have the honor of capturing Stingaree, the notorious bushranger. The outlaw learns that Ethel, his former sweetheart, is to sing at the station and determines to attend the concert. Trooper Bowen, of the Mounted Police, falls into Stingaree's hands after a duel in which the former is shot in the leg. Exchanging clothes with the man, Stingaree ventures forth and meets Kilbride. Cleverly hoodwinking the inspector, the bushranger takes him prisoner. Cairns comes upon Stingaree after the outlaw has bound Kilbride to a tree. In the struggle which ensues, Stingaree is knocked unconscious. Cairns then seizes the opportunity to jeer at his helpless rival. Consequently, the man does not see the bushranger, who has revived, creeping up behind him. A few minutes later finds Cairns in a plight similar to Kilbride's. Leaving the men helpless, Stingaree rides to the station, arriving in time to hear Ethel sing. The girl sees the bushranger and her agitation is so great that she breaks down and is unable to continue. Mounting his horse, Stingaree rides to safety. The following morning Kilbride's men receive a note from Stingaree which informs them of the whereabouts of the two inspectors. While the rescued chiefs pour out their wrath upon each other's head, the bushranger, unseen, watches the proceedings with glee.
