A country Victorian trooper captures the bushranger Gentleman George, whom he encounters disguised as a Melbourne trooper dining at the table of a neighbouring station owner. The country trooper pretends not to know the outlaw. He escapes an attempt to arrest him, a chase follows and bullet wounds injure them both - George killing himself to avoid hanging. (PB)
