The sequel builds on the relationship between Mick and journalist Sue Charlton, played by Linda Kozlowski, as the pair travel back to Mick's homeland. They are followed by a gangster and his crew from New York and as the story unfolds, Mick leads them through the outback in an attempt to foil their plans. Both films play on the 'fish-out-of-water' scenario and Hogan's central performance is genuine and played to perfection.
