"The story of Jimmie, a young Australian half-cast Aborigine who is torn between his true Aboriginal roots and an impulsion to integrate himself into white colonial society. As Jimmie grows into a hard working young man, he consistently finds himself flagrantly cheated and suppressed by his white employers, forcing him to seek relief in love, which he finds in a white woman he marries under duress. However, as the pressure builds, Jimmie explodes, resulting in one of the darkest, most violent endings in movie history."--Container
