Joined by bush larrikin, Ben Marston, and Ben's two adventure-hungry sons Starlight leads his gang of wild colonial boys in search of riches, romance and other men's cattle. After some daring escapades, including a nocturnal train hijack and a hot-air balloon assisted jailbreak, the boys decide to change their lives and go straight after one last job.
