A season of Britain's great laughter-makers
starring Kenneth More, James Donald
with Jean Lodge, Charles Hawtrey

A young couple on holiday in Devon become involved with a charming brandy smuggler. Through a series of mishaps they find themselves personally responsible for transporting the kegs to London using an unusual -but traditional-method of transport.

The film is remarkable for its superb location photography in Devon, Dorset, and France. The title is taken from Kipling's 'Smuggler's Song':

Five and twenty ponies
Trotting through the dark
Brandy for the Parson,
'Baccy for the Clerk;
Laces for a lady, letters for a spy,
Watch the wall, my darling, while the Gentlemen go by!
