The initial plan was to make six, one-hour adaptations[3] but only one film was made and it was ultimately released cinematically.[3] It was filmed both on location in London and on various studio sets.[1]
The film was not well regarded upon release with one reviewer saying "This three-reeler is directed and acted in a most shoddy manor and the plot development moves at some points at the most startling speed."[4]Kinematograph described the direction as "uninspired" causing the film "to border on the burlesque."[2]
