Il giovane pastore anglicano Anthony Campion, appena giunto in Australia dall'Inghilterra, viene mandato, con la moglie, nella tenuta del pittore Norman Lindsay per convincerlo a ritirare da una mostra un suo quadro considerato osceno. Ma qui, fra le teorie paganeggianti dell'artista, i comportamenti disinvolti delle sue modelle e le iniziative di un vicino, il matrimonio del reverendo Campion rischia la crisi.
