- Episode 1: "The Jackaroo" Maud Norman, the owner of the G Block Station, an Australian sheep run, points out to her manager, Glover, that her flocks have been seriously ravaged by the continued droughts of the past year. But her financial difficulties are somewhat lessened by the arrival of Jack Tabourdin, whose father sends Maud a check for one hundred pounds in payment for taking his son on as a "jackaroo" or apprentice on the sheep run. The following April when a payment of 500 pounds is due on the purchase of the sheep station, and Maud, foreseeing that, she will be unable to meet the payment, advertises for sale her favorite horse, Polly. Stingaree, the gentleman bushranger, and his partner, Howie, read this advertisement, and Stingaree decides that he must have Polly. Tabourdin, the jackaroo, overhears Maud and Glover discussing the sale of Polly. He remembers a handbill advertising 500 pounds reward for the capture of the bushranger, Stingaree. He wonders if he could spare Maud the loss of her favorite horse by capturing the outlaw. He receives an opportunity to do so, when, during the absence of Maud and Glover, Stingaree and Howie arrive at the station to get the horse. He fires at them as they are entering the stable. They run away, but by a subterfuge they make the jackaroo a prisoner. They take him to their camp, and are overjoyed to find that the jackaroo pursued them on the horse they had sought. In camp the jackaroo tells Stingaree the reason for his attempt to capture the bushranger. Stingaree, always too chivalrous to see a woman in trouble, proposes a plan to Howie and sends him away to the Kangaroo Hotel at Topanga. Then, feigning carelessness, he allows the jackaroo to make him a prisoner and take him to the troopers' quarters at Topanga, where Stingaree is locked up, and the jackaroo departs with his 500 pounds reward. Howie bursts into the Kangaroo Hotel at Topanga and holds up the bar. There is a trooper present, and Howie allows him to sneak away to give the alarm to the other troopers. The troopers rush away from the barracks, leaving only one man to guard Stingaree. Arriving at the hotel, they see what is apparently Howie riding away. They give pursuit and overtake the horse, only to find it is carrying only a dummy of straw, which Howie has rigged up for the occasion. Howie hurries to the barracks, where he overpowers the one trooper left in charge of Stingaree, and helps his partner to escape. Stingaree and Howie ride back to their old haunts, while the jackaroo returns to the G Block Station and persuades Maud to accept the 500 pounds as a loan to pay off the note on the sheep run.—Moving Picture World synopsis

But Stingaree and his partner have slipped out of the cabin and are now sliding down a rope to a motorboat. Meanwhile the candle has burned the string, and the revolver in Stingaree's cabin is discharged.

He is attracted by the girl, and is forcing unwelcome attentions upon her when Stingaree, who is fleeing from the police, arrives and saves her. Hawkins recognizes Stingaree and sets the troopers upon his track. When Helen sees the troopers riding up to her house to take the bushranger, she plans to save him. She dons his hat and white coat, jumps on his horse and rides off. The troopers think she is Stingaree and give pursuit. Stingaree's partner, Howie, sees the pursuit and opens fire on the troopers. But, while the girl escapes, the troopers capture Howie and find in his possession a note from Stingaree, in which the bushranger says that he is going to Hawkins' Waxwork Exhibit to see a figure of himself which they have on view. The troopers take Howie to Murray's house nearby. Stingaree, having borrowed a disguise from Murray, leaves for the waxworks show. Leaving Howie in the charge of two troopers, the other troopers ride after Stingaree. Arriving at the waxworks show in disguise, Stingaree meets Daubeney, the creator of the "gentleman bushranger." They become confidential, and Daubeney complains that Hawkins will not pay him for the figure. He needs the money because he is going to be married to Helen Murray. When the troopers arrive at the show, Hawkins persuades them to give him a chance "to get the fellow." The troopers allow him two minutes to bring Stingaree out of the tent. Entering the tent, Hawkins is astounded when the figure of King Lear raises a gun and remarks "Hands up!" It is Stingaree. He ties up Hawkins and buries him under a pile of wax figures. Then he himself takes the place of the wax figure of Stingaree, and when the troopers rush into the tent they see nothing but a pile of figures thrown on the ground. They think that Stingaree has escaped. So they leave. Daubeney and Helen, who has arrived with Stingaree's clothes, enter the tent and join Stingaree. The bushranger gets into the box which contained the wax figure of himself, and instructs Daubeney to carry him out of the tent.

It is Kate, on her way to Topanga to save her brother. Stingaree carries Kate to the shack of his old friend, Mother Maloney. There Kate tells him her story, and pleads with him to take her place and ride to Topanga with the confession.

They arrive just as the judge is about to read the jury's verdict of guilty. They hold up the court and force the judge to read the confession.

Sergeant Fitzroy and his wife arrive at the troopers' barracks, and Keene is shocked to learn that Fitzroy has been sent to replace him on account of his failure to capture Stingaree. He asks for another day, as his spy has located the bushrangers' camp, but Fitzroy refuses, and assumes command. The following morning, when Fitzroy sets out to capture Stingaree, his wife, Marion, starts on a morning ride to explore the country. Lost in the bush country, she chances to see Stingaree and Howie. Adopting a ruse to detain them in the hope that her husband and the troopers will arrive, she leaves her horse and stumbles toward them in a pretended exhausted condition. She tells them a fictitious story of how she lost her horse, and Stingaree offers to take her to the Kangaroo Hotel, where she can obtain a fresh horse. When Marion apparently faints from exhaustion, Stingaree leaves her in Howie's care and leaves for the Kangaroo Hotel himself to get a horse for her. Arriving at the hotel, Stingaree is forced to hide under blankets under a table when ex-Sergeant Keene arrives upon the scene. In order to be able to escape, Stingaree contrives to put some sleeping potion in Keene's drink, and when the former sergeant falls asleep the bushranger rides off with his horse. Arriving at his camp with Keene's horse for Marion, Stingaree sees huge flames leaping skyward in the distance. It is the Kangaroo Hotel, and the fire is the result of a discarded lighted match by a half-drunken patron. Stingaree remembers that he has locked Keene in a room, and no one knows he is there. He rides back to the hotel to save the ex-sergeant's life. Howie rides after him, and Marion meets her husband and the troopers. She tells them that the bushrangers have gone to the Kangaroo Hotel, and they ride off in pursuit. They reach the hotel just after Stingaree has saved Keene from the fire, and Keene, in gratitude, has hid the bushrangers in the stable to elude the troopers. Seeing the troopers and Marion, Stingaree recognizes the girl he had taken pity on and tried to help. Howie has the laugh on the gentleman bushranger, and when the troopers have ridden away the proprietor of The Kangaroo lends the bushrangers a couple of horses to ride back to their haunts in the bush country.
Episode 12: Through Fire and Water" Stingaree and his partner, Howie, while riding across Old Man Plain in the bush country of Australia, save the life of Billy Shuster, a worthless vagabond, when that individual drops a lighted cigarette, falls asleep, and catches fire. Shuster's coat is destroyed by fire, and Stingaree gives him his white one. At their camp, Howie attempts to break a wild colt, but the horse runs away with him and finally throws him. The accident is seen by Kate Proctor, the "hired help" of Mr. and Mrs. Brockton. She helps Howie to the house and bandages his wounded arm. Stingaree, searching for Howie, arrives at the house. He finds a revolver on a side table, and Kate explains that it belonged to her husband, who has stolen her money and left her. From her description of the man, Stingaree recognizes him as no other than the man he has befriended. Shuster, having recognized Stingaree and read of the 500 pounds reward offered for his capture, is now at the troopers' barracks setting Sergeant D'Aeth on the track of the bushranger. Stingaree rides back to the spot where he met Shuster, and there, to experience the keen delight of throwing Sergeant D'Aeth off the track, he makes new tracks in place of the old ones which have been obliterated. He rides to a stream, which he enters and rides through. Sergeant D'Aeth and Shuster, following his tracks, reach the stream. They decide that each one shall take a side of the stream and search for the tracks until nightfall. Then they shall camp for the night and meet in the morning. By evening neither has found trace of the bushranger, so they make separate camps for the night. Before dawn, while both his pursuers are sleeping, Stingaree pays them a visit. Coming to D'Aeth camp, he trades hats with the sergeant, and also appropriates his coat. Now, with Stingaree's fancy striped hat, and a white shirt, the sergeant could easily be mistaken for the bushranger. Then Stingaree visits Billy's camp with the sergeant's horse (which he had exchanged for his own) and changes the sergeant's horse for Billy's. Taking Shuster's hat with him, Stingaree hides in the bushes to await results. When the two pursuers awake they are astounded at the transformations. And when Shuster sees the sergeant on Stingaree's horse, with a white shirt and Stingaree's hat, he mistakes D'Aeth for the bushranger. D'Aeth, seeing Shuster on his horse and wearing Stingaree's white coat, mistakes him for Stingaree. Both open fire, and Shuster is the victim. Stingaree returns to Kate with the 500 pounds reward which he appropriated from the sergeant. He tells her that her husband, whom he found fatally wounded after a flight from the troopers, sent it to her.
Episode 13: "A Bushranger's Strategy" Stingaree and Howie are surprised to meet, near this camp, an Italian violinist, who introduces himself as Signor Acampora. Stingaree recognizes the name as that of a master musician and is delighted at the meeting. Himself a violinist, the gentleman bushranger rejoices at the opportunity of hearing such a celebrated performer. But Howie suggests "if this feller's worth a barrel o' money, why not hold him for ransom?" The signor makes no objection to this, as he realizes that to be held for ransom by the famous Stingaree will be a great advertisement when he returns home. The bushrangers take the musician to their camp, and Stingaree appears disappointed when he hears the Italian play. Jane Ryder, a former show girl, arriving in the bush country, finds that her horse has gone lame, and is forced to abandon him and proceed on foot. Approaching the camp of the bushrangers, she finds a handkerchief that the Italian musician has dropped, and appears to recognize it. The signor, while playing for Stingaree, sees Jane dodging through the bushes. Awaiting his opportunity, he slips away and waylays the girl. He binds her hand and foot, and hearing the bushrangers calling, hurries back to the camp. While the Italian is enjoying a repast Jane manages to free herself and is soon lost in the bush country. Stingaree, again listening to the signor play, instructs Howie to fetch the Italian's horse. Troopers of the New South Wales Mounted Police hear the strains of the signor's violin and approach. Coming in sight of the violinist, he signals them to approach further, and they surround the bushranger's tent. They see it move, and believe the bushranger to be inside. Rushing inside, they find the Italian's horse. Stingaree has escaped. Riding away from camp, Stingaree and Howie meet Jane. She tells them her story. Penniless and desperate, she is following a man who had stolen the money she had saved to return to her home in England. He was the orchestra leader in the show in which she played. From her description, Stingaree knows that the fake Signor Acampora is the man. Riding off, he finds the Italian who, with the troopers, has resumed the search for the bushrangers. He takes him back to Jane and hands over to the girl the money which he finds hidden in the Italian's violin. Then, compelling the signor to take off his boots and socks, he gives him a canteen of water and sends him forth barefooted. The feet of the troopers' accomplice are soon cut and scratched as he treads over the rough ground, while Jane thanks the bushrangers and accepts the loan of Stingaree's horse to ride back to town.

The villagers plan a public denunciation of Hope. Stingaree enters the village in a disguise to purchase ammunition. He recognizes Hope as a man who once befriended him when Stingaree lived in England and plans to vindicate him. With Howie, Stingaree meets Moffitt, invites him up to his cabin and gives him several drinks until his tongue is sufficiently loosened to tell the story of Hope's arrest and conviction for a crime Moffitt himself committed. The public denunciation of the minister at the Sunday service has begun when the bushrangers arrive with Moffitt. While Howie keeps guard outside, Stingaree holds up the church and forces Moffitt to tell the story of Hope's conviction. They are interrupted by the arrival of the mounted police.
