Plot – Matthew Quigley is a great sniper who lands in Australia from USA. He's been hired by Elliott Marston, a ranch's owner who wants him to shoot all the Aborigines. Quigley arrives at the ranch bringing with him Cora, a prostitute he defended against three men, the same ones Marston has sent to pick up the guy. Furthermore, the job doesn't fit the newcomer at all: he argues with Marston who then abandons him and Cora in the desert. While Marston sends his henchmen to kill them, the couple is saved by the Aborigines.
