Plot
The film depicts the Siege of Mafeking (1899–1900) during the Second Boer War through the scenario of an orphan girl that loves a soldier but is married to an exiled doctor.[2][better source needed]
Censorship
The film is notable for being the first South African film to be prohibited or censored. The government of Prime Minister Louis Botha banned the film under the Defence of the Realm Act[3] as "the film wrongly represents the Boers as being cheats and immoral."[4]
