From his shop in Camperdown Victoria, Demolition Man Lawrie Voutier turns a nice buck selling salvaged building materials and rare antiques. Today he's agreed to help clear his old mate Johnny's property out at cost, and anything he can salvage for himself is a bonus. Old Johnny worked in an auction house – so Lawrie knows there'll be some treasure buried amongst the junk – if he can find it!

In Ballarat Victoria, Lawrie has arrived at a well-known antique auction House. The Demo Man has come to collect a copper statue, but he can't help finding a few other items he'd like to add to his collections. Standing in his way are two of the best in the business. So begins the deal-making dance.
