'Briefly, the story concerns the high, wide and handsome adventures of Captain Fury, a political prisoner from Ireland, who arrives in Australia to discover the perfidious and greedy practices of land barons who are trying to oust the settlers and colonists so that they can establish vast feudal estates and rule them like mediaeval tyrants. Fury is set to work shearing sheep, on the compound of Arnold Trist, a cold-blooded villain who has been terrorising the entire settlement, a few hundred miles outside Sydney. How Fury outwits this man and brings civilised law and order to the community provides a thrilling climax to the story, which is filled with many hair-raising, blood-and-thunder episodes.'
