One day, in a trunk belonging to his grandfather, Jimmy discovers a curiously carved stick and a brass-bound log-book, fastened with a padlock. The stick is recognised immediately by the Oona elders as a source of dangerous evil, and its carvings reveal to them a story of murder and wrong done to the neighbouring tribe of the Burunjis whose totemic god is the dolphin. To avenge this wrong the elders of both tribes, accompanied by Jimmy and Tajurra, must travel across the dreadful swamp of the Gumrai-Gumrai to the towering black cliffs beyond, in which the sacred objects of the Burunjis have lain in a secret cave under a taboo for more than a quarter of a century.
