Caught in the Net is a 1928 Australian silent film about a woman in high society starring Zillah Bateman, a British theatre star who was touring Australia at the time. Only part of the film survives.
Society girl Phyllis Weston is loved by two men, handsome Jack Stacey and villainous Robson. In a yacht race, Robson tries to sabotage Jack's boat but fails. Robson then tries to get his sister to trap Jack in a comprising situation, but is unsuccessful.
The story includes a yacht race at St Kilda and a rescue from drowning at Portsea.
Advance Films had held a competition to find best new Australian story.
The film was shot in early 1928 with exteriors filmed at Portsea.
The film was released as a supporting feature and also was screened in the UK as a quota film.
Everyone's reported that it had "fallen down at the box office."
