Premise[]

Easygoing San Francisco private detective Harry Wingate (Sam Elliott) gets a six-figure offer from millionaire Brutus Cathcart (Max Phipps) to travel to Australia and retrieve Cathcart's prized opal from former Irish Republican Army terrorist sharpshooter Lester McInally (Robert Culp). With the help of an Aborigine rancher (Jack Davis) and revenge-minded widow Kate McQueen (Rebecca Gilling), Wingate battles McInally and his minions, who have taken over an entire outback town.[2]
