The inhabitants of the secluded Scottish island of Todday in the Outer Hebrides found themselves facing a peculiar crisis in 1943 – the absence of their beloved whisky. The impact of wartime rationing had been minimal on the island until this point. As the supply of whisky dwindled, a dark cloud of despair settled over the disheartened islanders.
Sergeant Odd, returning on leave from the army, seized the opportunity to court Peggy, the daughter of the local shopkeeper, Joseph Macroon. Having previously assisted in establishing the island’s Home Guard unit, Odd found himself entangled in a charming romance amidst the whisky-less gloom. Meanwhile, Catriona, Macroon’s other daughter, had recently become engaged to George Campbell, a timid schoolteacher. Unfortunately, Campbell’s overbearing mother stood in the way of their union, refusing her consent.
During a dense foggy night, the SS Cabinet Minister, a freighter, met its demise near Todday as it ran aground and began to sink. Two local heroes, the Biffer and Sammy MacCodrun, sprang into action and paddled out to offer aid. To their astonishment, they discovered that the ship’s cargo held a treasure trove of 50,000 cases of whisky. The news spread like wildfire through the island, sparking newfound hope and excitement.
Captain Waggett, the rigid English commander of the local Home Guard, instructed Sergeant Odd to safeguard the whisky. However, Macroon cleverly reminded everyone of an age-old tradition – a man could not marry without hosting a rèiteach, a Scottish betrothal ceremony complete with whisky. Taking this as a sign, Odd allowed himself to be overpowered by the locals, who swiftly unloaded numerous cases before the freighter met its watery end. Campbell, prompted by MacCodrun, defied his mother’s orders to join the salvage effort, ultimately rescuing the Biffer from a dire situation. The whisky not only emboldened Campbell to confront his mother but also affirmed his commitment to marrying Catriona.
A showdown ensued between Waggett, determined to claim the salvaged cargo, and the cunning islanders. Waggett enlisted the help of Macroon’s old adversary, Mr. Farquharson from Customs and Excise, to search for the whisky. Outwitted, the islanders ingeniously concealed the bottles in unsuspecting places, including the ammunition cases shipped off the island by Waggett. When the whisky was eventually uncovered, Waggett faced repercussions from his superiors on the mainland, leaving the islanders victorious in their spirited triumph.
