 The film is alternately tinted yellow (for day), red (for sunset)  and blue (for night), and is silent except for a talking prologue  and a synchronized musical score. The film was shot in the jungles  of Achin (also called Atjeh) in northwest Sumatra, Indonesia.  Javanese and Malays were in the cast, along with the Achinese, who  Motion Picture Herald describes as "one of the fiercest tribes in  the Dutch West Indies."
