Bored during the summer holidays, a group of kids from the Nullarbor Plain discover a limestone cave with a huge underground lake. When they realise that men wanted by the police are using their new hideout, they decide to investigate. An early Australian black-and-white short film written and directed by Tim Burstall, who became a leading director of the 1970s Australian film revival.
