What it’s about. Down-on-their-luck drifters Kearney and Martin wander into the small town of Cedar Creek looking to swindle a few pounds from the locals. After a not-too-friendly reception, the pair decide to move into an abandoned shack on the outskirts of town. They are soon joined in their new home by Joycie, another town outcast with a shady past. While the three manage to start a rather happy life together, they soon find that others in the town strongly disapprove of their living arrangements.

Who’s in it. The Settlement stars Bill Kerr as Kearney, John Jarratt as Martin, Lorna Lesley as Joycie and Tony Barry as The Sergeant, among others.
