We usually assume that a Shotgun Wedding involves one each angry father, unwilling groom, and a compromised (usually pregnant) bride. However, although the bride is pregnant, in this Australian movie, the shotgun is being wielded by a couple of crooked policeman who are angry that a young convict has put the finger on one of them. Eventually, the "cavalry," in the form of honest policemen, rescue the couple, who are then able to marry.
