The life and hard times of a backblocks power gang.
Take eight proper Kiwis - Maori, Pommy, Scots, Dutch and Irish - set them out in the backblocks where life is simple and girls are few; where the working week is often from Tuesday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday for recreation and Monday a blank; where its usually raining, and the cook insists on no boots inside the house. Give them Manu Gilbert as foreman - a big, easy-going, part Maori, good at his job and good with people, who has a knack of recording first-hand impressions of life in a power lineman's gang - and you have rich entertainment.
