The Crisis is an Australian melodrama film directed by W. J. Lincoln. It was inspired by a painting, The Crisis by Frank Dicksee, and is considered a lost film.[6][7]
Nellie Owen is happily married to fisherman John, with whom she has a child, until a philanderer, Frank, convinces her that her husband is unfaithful. She runs away to the city with Frank, where she assists him extracting money from the rich in society, but after a while is consumed by guilt and wants to return home. After an argument with Frank, she arrives in time to help nurse her sick child through a serious illness, and is reunited with her forgiving husband.[6]
