In a small South Wales coal mining town, a young coal miner competes with an Englishman for the love of a beautiful Welsh girl
This drama features some good rare shots of Abergwynfi station, terminus of the line from Bridgend via Maesteg. A branch train is present at the South Wales station hauled by GWR 5700-series 0-6-0PT No.7798. There is also a scene outside London Paddington station. A ‘blue scar’ incidentally was a cut that became infected with coal dust whilst healing turning the scar blue as a result. All miners at some point in their career gained a ‘bluey’.
