Delegated by US President Winston H. Jameson to secure Daisy Town in order to make the junction of the East-West railway in time, "Lucky" John Luke returns to his hometown, now dominated by the crook Pat Poker. Haunted by old demons, Lucky Luke sees his ambitions to start a new life and "make it clean" soon thwarted by the arrival of old enemies.

Lucky Luke received mixed reviews. While the direction, visual style and acting received acclaim, the screenplay received criticism.
