Jack Wallis is a road-train driver with a secret. He has just become a top selling romance novelist. However, being a "man's man" in the Australian outback, to avoid embarassment he needs a name, a woman's name - and he chooses that of his best friend Ruby.
When a glamourous city publisher shows up to sign "Ruby Vale" to a major book deal, Jack must do some fancy footwork to keep up the charade, including convincing the real Ruby Vale to play along.
