The Rogues Gallery radio serial consisted of portraits of famous scoundrels and was produced by Dorothy Crawford.

This Captain Moonlite episode was written by Rex Rienits, who was a journalist before becoming one of the leading radio writers in Australia.

Dorothy Crawford not only excelled as a radio drama producer, but was also a pioneer in the production of Australian television drama. Known within the industry as a hard taskmaster, Crawford was respected for her knowledge and attention to detail.

As co-founder of Crawford Productions she made a significant contribution to the success of the company, which not only dominated radio production in Melbourne, but was one of the few independent production companies to successfully transition from radio to television in Australia.
