A white-collar thief tries to rob an outback petrol station, but when the cards don't fall his way, he gets lost in the burning sands and becomes the plaything for a mischievous jackdaw.
The Jackdaw is a modern Australian fable that illustrates the price man must pay for tampering with the natural order of things.
