Based on a true story that took place in the early 1900s, this plot centers on the plight of a half-White Aborigine, Jimmie (Tommy Lewis), who moves to the city when he grows up because he feels like an outcast in the Aborigine world. He gets a job working for a White family (Ruth Cracknell and Don Crosby), and while Jimmie is working for them, a serving girl, Gilda (Angela Punch McGregor), at the estate becomes pregnant. Jimmie marries her to protect her honor. Later, it turns out that Jimmie is not the father, and Jimmie is ostracized. Now, Jimmie employs extreme violence to exact revenge on the racism he lives with in Australia.
