在这部威士忌嘉豪喜剧/爱情片中,翻拍自1949年同名经典电影，基于真实改编。1941年，苏格兰外赫布里底群岛，党卫军的大臣号搁浅于此，一群苏格兰岛民抢劫了该沉船，其中5万箱威士忌很快成为了传奇故事。但没有被披露的是，这艘船还携带着大量的现金。根据内政部最近发布的官方文件，在船上有将近29万十先令的纸币（相当于今天几百万英镑）。
The story of the inhabitants of the isolated Scottish island of Todday, in the Outer Hebrides, where gloom sets in as their wartime rationing of whisky runs out. When cargo ship the SS Cabinet Minister runs aground the shrewd islanders run rings around the buffoonish English Home Guard commander Captain Waggett and conspire to hide away cases of the precious amber nectar.
