Dubbed by the media as "The Postcard Bandit", Brendan Abbott was rumoured to send postcards of his travels to the police chasing him. He is one of the most colourful and notorious criminals to raise the blood pressure of every Australian cop - and at time, even attract their grudging admiration.

In a crime career spanning a decade Abbott is believed to have stolen more than $5 million dollars from the banks and much of it has never been recovered.

This telemovie is a warts 'n' all account of a unique, gifted Aussie bloke who took the wrong road and wound up paying a heavy price in solitary confinement in a maximum security facility.
