Luke Holt is a police sergeant who doubles as the head of a gang of counterfeiters under the name of Jean Leroy. He tries to recruit a young engraver, Ned Truman, into the gang but he is too honest. Holt then frames him by getting Biddy Higgins to place counterfeit coins in Truman's room. The young man is sent to gaol and his wife Nellie suffers great hardship. A detective, Ben Burleigh, investigates and uncovers Holt's guilt. Holt tries to escape in a fast car but it cashes over a cliff and he is killed.〔Andrew Pike and Ross Cooper, ''Australian Film 1900–1977: A Guide to Feature Film Production'', Melbourne: Oxford University Press, 1998, p 31〕 Chapter headings were: *the false accusation; *turned into the streets; *the coiner's den *Wooloomooloo; *starving in the Domain ; *a woman's courage ; *hurled to destruction; *a dash for liberty; *The murder in Centennial Park; *escape in motor-car; *over the cliffs; *face to face with death.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King of the Coiners」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
