The World From a Veranda

Arthur is a worn-out war veteran who sits on his veranda smoking, coughing his heart out and spitting at the world as he watches it drag by.
He watches as a gang of itinerants steal goods from his mate Phil's General Store across the road.
When Arthur informs Phil of the thefts the shopkeeper employs a fourteen-year-old girl Jilly, a friend of Arthur's, to help look after the store.
Members of the gang kidnap Jilly from the store and take her to a bush hideout where they terrorise her, beat her and sexually molest her.
When Arthur hears news of this he is incensed. He embarks on a one-man vigilante mission to eke his revenge on the perpetrators of the crime. He doesn't care if he dies in the process; he's dying anyway.
