A life journey from fisherman, highwayman, convicted felon, transportee and then escapee for one woman.

Jenny has to try and keep her mother and herself in food after her father dies while fishing at sea. Jenny cannot manage the boat herself and so has to sell this and look for other work. By accident she turns to robbing travellers on the highway first on her own and then as part of a group. She does this without her mother knowing what she is doing.

This is her life story leading up to her transportation to Australia and her subsequent escape.
