A clown arrives in a small outback town in the Darling Downs region of southeast Queensland. The fact that no one knows anything about this clown—who the clown is or where the clown came from—raises no concern in the community of Warwick, where parents struggling with the ravages of drought and other hardships are only too pleased to see their children have moments of joy, being entertained by new and unusual experiences. Only one man questions the clown's credentials. What he ultimately uncovers goes beyond the natural concern a policeman has for his community when a statewide drug syndicate is found to be operating even in this remote community.
