"Historical drama set in the year 1855 during the discovery of gold in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. The gold bonanza is threatened by the arrival of claim-jumpers, usurpers and government bean-counters. At first, the prospectors intend to use random mob violence to ward off the invaders, but prospector Peter Lallor organizes the group into a strong, united front, as willing to mediate as to bust heads."
"It is 1853. From all over the world, men flock to Australia to dig for gold. this gold-fever is weakening the economic life of the young colony, as men rush away from the farms, the factories, and the shipyards to take their claim on the barren, sun-steeped earth. The miners bitterly resent the fact that they are treated as intruders and are constantly harried by police. The diggers riot and then four of them join together to protect themselves with a Diggers' Reform League, but the struggle to gain their rights is to prove a long and bitter one ..."
"The third Ealing production in Australia was carefully researched by Watt working with Rex Rienits and a small team of historians and is distinguished by its reconstruction of the Ballarat goldfields (on location near Singleton, N.S.W.), well staged action and a strong supporting cast. The leader of the miners' revolt against the colonial authorities, Peter Lalor, played by Rafferty, is presented as a man of doubts and principles rather than as the charismatic rebel leader."@en
