Synopsis

'Love makes the world go round? Not at all. Whisky makes it go round twice as fast.' Wartime rationing is bad enough, but when the whisky supplies run out on the Hebridean islands of Great and Little Todday, nothing seems to go right. Then thefifty-thousand-bottle cargo of the shipwrecked S.S. Cabinet Minister brings salvation - in its most giddily intoxicating form.
