He returned to Australia in a box, but that was only the start of his adventures.Crazily impulsive, romantic, and free-spirited, Reg became a national hero for smuggling himself 13,000 miles home as air freight. But as his fame and sporting career faded, Reg decided to smuggle something very different. Soon, he was on the run with his girlfriend, playing a cat-and-mouse game with police on three continents. A wild road trip across India and Africaidyllic beaches and prison hellholes, shady friends and shadier cops, gun-toting militias and drug-running gangsters led to a court room in Sri Lanka and the fight of his life. Could Reg beat the death sentence hed just been given, or was this box too big to climb out of?
