Description Trev, constable and small town unsophisticate, has got Lynette, wife of his harried and liido-less Sergeant, Bert, into 'trouble'. He's trying to sell his car to pay for a back paddock abortion while detective Sharp, a small puff from the Big Smoke, tries to direct the homicide case that Trev and Bert aimed to solve by arresting the hapless and jobless village idiot Wally.
