Our distinctive student of violence arrives incognito at Merino, in western New South Wales, and, as a first move, provokes the local sergeant to lock him up. The method in Bony's madness is that while serving a semi-detention sentence and being made to paint the police station, he wears the best of all disguises. Here again is a first-rate Upfield mystery, made warm by humour, by the background characters and his portrayal of the natural background scene.

He is forced into slavery and escapes, but he is then shipwrecked on a desert island where he manages to survive through resourcefulness and luck.
