Capturing the dynamic colour and movement of 1920s Sydney, a vibrant city of optimism bulging with a dark underbelly of crime, Kitty And The Bagman cuts to the criminal chase in the great Aussie gangster tradition of Squizzy Taylor. When tough guy O'Rourke (David Bradshaw) is arrested for cutting up a lady-friend, his wife Kitty (Liddy Clark) sets out on a fateful journey, taking ownership of the Top Hat nightclub, a raucous doorway to the criminal underworld. Aided along the way by her prostitute friend, Doris (Colette Mann) and an enigmatic crooked cop called The Bagman (John Stanton), Kitty establishes a formidable reputation not only as a woman on the make, but as a no-nonsense gangster ready to rival the notorious Big Lil Delaney (Val Lehman) for a piece of the action and control of the unsettled streets.
