A season of Britain's great laughter-makers
Starring Ronald Squire, Kathleen Ryan, Raymond Huntley, Sebastian Shaw

The five car owners of a remote Hebridean village refuse to pay their road fund licences until they get a new road, but when Whitehall intervenes things take a hilarious turn for the worse...

This film was produced by Group 3, a British production company set up in 1951 by the National Film Finance Corporation. In charge were John Baxter, John Grierson -'father of the British documentary' - and Michael Balcon. Their aim was to make low-budget films employing young talent. The venture was regarded with suspicion by the trade, but some of the films produced - such as Brandy for the Parson and The Brave Don't Cry (both seen on BBC-tv) - received critical acclaim.
