When the teenagers return to their homes, they find that all the families in the district have been abducted and locked into the show grounds by armed soldiers who are taking over Australia. The New Zealand soldiers disappear without a trace and the teenagers have to attack the airbase themselves… The teenagers decide to look for the soldiers but end up getting trapped on an open paddock with a few trees.
