"Stingaree is a master of disguises. In Australia, he pretends to be the renowned British composer, Sir Julian Kent, visiting the wealthy Mr and Mrs Hugh Clarkson's house. There, he meets Hilda Bouverie, a lowly servant girl, who dreams of being an opera singer. However, Stingaree is discovered as being an impostor and he escapes with Hilda to his hideout, where he realises that he loves her. When the genuine Sir Julian eventually hears Hilda sing, it results in his inviting her to come to England. Meanwhile Stingaree's exploits lead to a shooting and his arrest."--Publisher.
