Banned from the local pool on a stinking hot day, Robbie and his mates Georgia Blue and Little Johnny will stop at nothing to find a way to escape the heat. But the swimming hole is dirty and when they’re banned from the local pool by the hostile pool attendant, Pervin’ Mervin, they have no choice but to seek relief in private pools across town. But when Pervin’ Mervin prices out the Aboriginal kids from the local pool, Robbie decides enough is enough. The trio steal a drum of chlorine from the pool’s shed to clean the swimming hole and the neighbourhood kids finally get cool.
