Synopsis shows Luey Greevins saving for a bike aided by a school savings account. Smiley enlists the "bushranger" and is fined 10 by a police sergeant. Smiley plans to earn more money through races, entangling himself in trouble and discovering his innocence in a smuggling racket. He faces consequences and resolves to face the aftermath.
Smiley flees at night after a violent confrontation with his parents. He hides by a river, steals a horse, and becomes a fugitive as he races toward Murrumbilla, imagining bushranger legends while avoiding pursuit and grappling with fear and guilt.
Smiley continues the chase on a station boundary. Fifty yards from the road he encounters a lift wire netting fence guarding sheep. He climbs the fence sideways to avoid leaving footprints, using sore hands and feet through a slow, tiring maneuver to rest on Mitchell grass.
