It was recorded in 15 minute episodes but during its original broadcast four of these were put together to make one hour episodes. The Herald said "Interest is well sustained because the script Is excellent."[3]

The Adelaide News said "Semi-documentary treatment helps what promises to be a better-than average thriller."[4]

The Sunday Mail called it "an excellent presentation of its kind."[5]

The series was popular and was repeated in 1953.[6]
