Madame Midas

Orphaned heiress Miss Curtis, once the belle of Melbourne, marries the impoverished Randolph Villiers, only to face financial and personal hardships as he squanders her inheritance. Refusing to give in, she leaves her marriage for Ballarat, where she immerses herself in mining and adopts the persona of Madame Midas to shield herself from past scars. Her hardened exterior is challenged when two escaped prisoners arrive nearby, testing her resolve and security.
