Clip description

Bill (Robert McDarra) and inmate Richard (T. Richard Moir) plant a story with another prisoner that one of the patients has a knife and will attack Mr Cornish (Bill Hunter). Cornish searches the two Aboriginal inmates (Bob Maza and Zac Martin) immediately, but finds nothing. While the youngest inmate Jeremy (Richard Creaser) distracts the young orderly Slats (James Kemp), Bill goes over the wall.
