About
A remote Scottish island that has run out of whisky salvages cargo from a freighter carrying 50,000 cases that runs aground offshore.
On Todday, an isolated Scottish island in the Outer Hebrides, wartime rationing bites when the whisky supply runs out in 1943, and gloom settles on the community. Sergeant Odd comes back on leave to court Peggy, daughter of the local shopkeeper Joseph Macroon. Peggy's sister Catriona has just got engaged to George Campbell, a meek schoolteacher, though his stern, domineering mother will not consent. During a foggy night, the freighter SS Cabinet Minister runs aground off Todday and starts to sink. Word spreads that the ship is carrying 50,000 cases of whisky. The islanders salvage part of the cargo, over the objections of the local Customs and Excise men.
