Plot

During World War II, a ship full of whisky is wrecked on a small Hebridean island where the local customs and excise man has his hands full. Fourteen whisky bottles, said to be the last surviving from the wreck of the SS Politician, the real-life shipwreck that inspired the film, were sold in 1993 at a Glasgow auction for £12,012, with a bottle of Haig Dimple fetching £1,210.
