The Siege of Pinchgut (1959)
De onschuldig veroordeelde Matt weet samen met drie andere gevangenen te ontsnappen. Het eindigt voorlopig op een haveneiland voor de kust van Sydney. Hier vinden de mannen echter een functionerend kanon en voldoende munitie. Wanneer een schip met zeer explosieve lading op weg is naar de haven, maken ze van de situatie gebruik om de stad een ultimatum te stellen...
