Synopsis:

Welcome to boom time in the wild west... It's the 1980's in Western Australia - A land that breeds excess, greed, corruption, conmen, dodgy cops and infamous tycoons. Against this colourful backdrop lies one of the most incredible true stories ever recorded in Australian criminal history. Fortune hunters and larrakins, The Mickelberg brothers, have been charged and convicted with stealing 49 gold bars from the Perth Mint - the greatest gold heist ever undertaken in this country. Did they carry out this brazen robbery or were they framed by notorious detective Donald 'The Silver Fox' Hancock? It's a mystery 21 years in the making and still remains unsolved today. Gripping, shocking and mesmerizing, this major new production features an all star cast including Shane Bourne, Grant Bowler, Josh Quong Tart, John Batchelor and Todd Lasance; and brilliantly brings to life a crime that shocked a nation.

It's the beginning of the 1980s boom in Western Australia. Larrikin brothers Ray, Brian and Peter Mickelberg spend their days abalone fishing, flying planes, looking for adventure and developing new ways of making money. Their most bizarre venture? Selling a huge fake gold nugget 'The Yellow Rose of Texas' to tycoon Alan Bond. A tale about two innocent men who become embroiled in one of the most famous heists in Australia's history. It is a mysterious twenty-year saga about their fight to clear their names over a crime that has never been solved.
