In this scene from the Skippy feature film The Intruders (Lee Robinson, Australia, 1969), Meredith (Kevin Miles) has kidnapped Sonny (Garry Pankhurst) and Meg (Jeanie Drynan) and taken them to an old boat shed.
Skippy attacks Meredith, allowing Sonny to escape and run for help.
While the film recouped its costs at the box office when released for the December school holidays in 1969, it was not able to match the success of Skippy on TV and no further films were made.
