A small boy (Beau Cox) is orphaned and sent to live with his uncle (Rod Taylor), who is a hitman. When the boy witnesses his uncle kill some people, his uncle orders that his assistant (Paul Winfield) help shoot the boy; the assistant refuses and takes off with the boy.
The movie marked the first time Rod Taylor had played an Australian character in an Australian film.[1]
The film was not released theatrically,[2] although it did have one theatrical screening in Bondi NSW, a condition of the movie's financing via tax concession.[3]
