A constable's dream of a murder in a sly-grog shanty near Avoca in the mid-1850s is revealed to have been real. The shanty keeper, his wife and the victim's mate murdered him for his money - and their deed is discovered by an enterprising policeman, the wife's madness and the victim's daughter who determined to avenge him and marries his killer.
