A planned film based on Australia's only Chinese bushranger, Sam Pu.
Pu was originally captured and hanged in Bathurst after killing a trooper in a firefight in 1865, but Macklin indicates in 'Chinese Bushranger in Focus' (see Works About) that his script will follow a different storyline:
'In the movie he doesn't get hanged, that's an awful end to a movie. In the movie he teams up with our own bushrangers - Johnny Gilbert, Frank Gardiner, Ben Hall - and with a Chinese girl who came to the goldfields with a group including Sam.' She joins the four of them for an adventure romance that also explores the relationship between the two cultures.
