Residing in a run-down Sydney suburb during the Depression, Jack Gudgeon, age 48, is a male chauvinist, money-owing, cynic, layabout and bar-room philosopher. His wife, Agatha, having had more than she can take, has finally walked out on him. With Jack and his equally scheming and unreliable son, Stanley, left to fend for themselves (with a little help from Jack's brother-in-law on a visit from the bush) pandemonium ensues.

Full of sardonic wit and uproarious antics, father and son blaze a trail of drunken chaos through the city's pubs, clubs, race-courses and their own increasingly battered and beleaguered home. They fall in with a weird and wonderful assortment of low-life characters who turn up to enliven the kind of party which Mr Gudgeon invariably intends to be a "quiet, respectable turnout", but which, somehow, never is.

In 'Here's Luck' Lennie Lower gives us all the slapstick of a Marx Brothers film, the no-nonsense deadpan delivery of Mark Twain and the off-kilter comic inebriation of Flann O'Brien. Yet it is a totally original work of pure Australian genius.
