Sydney, 1950s. The war is getting colder, the skirts are getting shorter. Time of the six o'clock swill and the big hangover. Home of the most corrupt police force money can buy. The unruly element is going mental for that low-down dirty bop.
Billy Glasheen Esquire, lurk merchant and milk bar cowboy, chases the big pay-day through a web of bent coppers, loose women and made reffo fighting for causes no one remembers.
ASIO is looking under the bed for commos, Little Richard is looking to the skies for the Second Coming. But Billy's no mug - Big Money is the favourite and he's backed it for a win.
Good times, good sorts and back luck have kept Billy poor, but hey, it's a new day, a new scam ... another chance to get 'Get Rich Quick'.
