A British parliamentary delegation is sent to investigate a Scottish community that is refusing to pay their road tax
This comedy is based on the 1951 novel of the same name by Eric Linklater. The journey north from London is depicted with the usual stock shots from Brief Encounter (1945) (qv) – night shots of LMS expresses hauled by a ‘Royal Scot’ and a streamlined ‘Coronation Pacific’.
