'High and Dry'"; "It explodes with fun!"; "When Yankee persistence meets Scotch resistance it makes an exploision of fun and laughter!"; about an American businessman who hires a Scottish ship to take important cargo to Italy, and there is a massive clash of cultures between how he thinks things should be done and how the Scottish locals feel things should be done) starring Paul Douglas, Hubert Gregg, Alex Mackenzie, Abe Barker, James Copeland, and Tommy Kearins.
