About
the Show Set in Ballarat in mid-1800s during the height of the gold
rush, Gladys and her adopted parents have arrived by ship from Ireland,
like many others before them, to make their fortunes. Barely scraping
by, their lively hood and Gladys’ maidenhood, is severely
at risk when two dastardly villains arrive looking to make their
fortune the easy way! Can Gladys' modesty remain intact? Will her
parents believe her? Will the villains succeed? Or can the hero,
Sergeant Will Campbell, save the day?
