Action Scene #3
Bushranger
The door swung open. Dark eyes saw them and burned with malice. 'What you do here?' he grunted. 'Er... nothing,' volunteered Nick.
'We came to see Magpie,' pretended Jenny. The old man's face contorted with fury and he reached into a drawerto pull out a large, gleaming knife.
'Give me truth!' he ordered. 'Or I use.'
When Jenny and Nick Rawson join their stuntman father on location in the Australian outback, for filming of the adventures of the infamous robber Ned Kelly, danger and adventure are never far away. The two young teenagers are forced to play a deadly game of detectives, and must learn to mistrust even their newly made friends. Who is the thief in the night? Why were the stables blown up? What is the secret of the cavern in the hills? And who is the real-life bushranger?
