'Today the pleasant Melbourne suburb of Heidelberg is a garden city, where on Sunday morning no sound is heard more deadly than the whirring of lawnmowers and the clipping of hedge shears. It was not always so.
On one exciting Sabbath, more than a century ago, four desperate men stood at bay on the bush-clad hills, and the Yarra valley echoed the crash of musketry. This is the authentic story of a reckless quartette compelled by grim destiny to cross the world, meet in Melbourne and join forces in an attack of society, and of the gallant young men who risked their lives when they rode out to capture them.'
