Whisky Galore
During World War II, the tiny Scottish island of Todday runs out of whisky.
When the freighter S.S. Cabinet Minister runs aground nearby during a heavy fog,
the islanders are delighted to learn that its cargo consists of 50,000 cases of
whisky. When officious English commanding officer Captain Waggett (Eddie Izzard)
demands return of the liquor, shopkeeper Joseph Macroon (Gregor Fisher) and his
daughters Peggy (Naomi Battrick) and Catriona (Ellie Kendrick) spearhead an
island rebellion.
