For over a 100 years, the Ugg boot - a type of sheepskin boot - has been a cultural icon sported by sheep-shearers, ‘surfies’ and anyone pottering around the house. Through a bizarre comedy of errors the ownership of the 'Ugg' trademark passed to an aggressive US corporation.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugg Boot is a spaghetti western following the funny, brave and tragic efforts of a bunch of feisty family businesses in Australia and America as they take on a giant US shoe company. Following the dramatic twists and turns of the cases, the programme uncovers the strange history of the Ugg boot and how it became a global fashion sensation.
