Set in the world of brewing, a classic tale (an Ealing
speciality) of the small, friendly, family run company being threatened with
closure by the nasty, modern, large organisation. Bringing in familiar farce
elements such as mistaken identity, slapstick and even pie fights, the tale is
resolved through the love felt by the children of the opposing brewery owners.
Peter Coke spanks Nova Pilbeam.
