The story of the American sea-captain known as Captain Bully Hayes, who roamed the Pacific Ocean from the 1860s to the 1870s. The story involves the deeds of other blackbirders, some of whom really were as bad as legend painted Hayes, and of cannibals and head-hunters, naval captains and missionary martyrs, who lived and died violently amid the paradisal beauty of the islands of the South Seas.

Edward "Ned" Kelly (December 1854- 11 November 1880) was an Australian bushranger of Irish descent. Kelly was born in the British colony of Victoria as the third of eight children to an Irish convict from County Tipperary and an Australian mother with Irish parentage. His father died after serving a six-month prison sentence, leaving Kelly, then aged 12, as the eldest male of the household. The Kellys were a poor selector family who saw themselves as downtrodden by the Squattocracy and as victims of police persecution. Arrested in 1870 for associating with bushranger Harry Power, Kelly was convicted of stealing horses and imprisoned for three years. He fled to the bush in 1878 after being indicted for the attempted murder of a police officer at the Kelly family's home. After he, his brother Dan, and two associates fatally shot three policemen, the Government of Victoria proclaimed them outlaws.
