Jim Dixon feels anything but lucky at university, where he must obey the absent‑minded, dull Professor Welch to keep his job. He is also tangled with the neurotic Margaret Peel, a friend of the professor. The pub offers his only refuge. A dreadful weekend with the Welch family brings the boorish son Bertrand and his stunning companion Christine Callaghan, the unattainable woman Jim dreams of.
