The sprawling saga of legendary Australian cop, Bumper Farrell, the
most feared and revered policeman in Australia's history. Frank
'Bumper' Farrell was the roughest, toughest street cop and
vice-squad leader Australia has ever seen. Strong as a bull, with
cauliflowered ears and fists like hams, Bumper's beat from 1938 to
1976 was the most lawless in the land - the mean streets of Kings
Cross and inner Sydney. His adversaries were such notorious
criminals as Abe Saffron, Lennie McPherson, Tilly Devine and Kate
Leigh and their gangs as well as the hooligans, sly groggers, SP
bookies, pimps and spivs. Criminals knew just where they stood: he
would catch them, he would hurt them, and then he would lock them
away. He was a legendary Rugby League player for Newtown, and
represented Australia against England and New Zealand. Here's
Bumper Farrell in brutal, passionate and hilarious action . . .
saving Ita Buttrose from a stalker; sparking a national scandal
when accused of biting off a rival player's ear; beating Lennie
McPherson so severely the hard man cried; single-handedly fighting
a mob of gangsters in Kings Cross and winning; terrorising the
hoons who harassed the prostitutes in the brothel lanes by driving
over the top of them; commandeering the police launch to take him
home to his beach home, diving overboard in full uniform and
catching a wave to shore; dispensing kindness and charity to the
poor. Bumper Farrell: lawman, sportsman, larrikin . . . legend.
