"Sally" (Gracie Fields) finds herself the owner of a pub on the banks of the Clyde just as HM Queen Mary has launched her namesake ocean liner - a testament to the huge industry thriving on the banks of that river at the time.

The fact that she's a Lancastrian lass might make her an unlikely ambassador for a bunch of Scottish welders, but can she up her game enough to swing it? This is quite a jolly vehicle for a star who joins in wholeheartedly, gels amiably with Sydney Howard's theatrical "Fitzgerald" and belts out a couple of toe-tappers like "Wish Me Luck..." as well a few traditional Scots songs. On the downside, someone ought to have told Monty Banks that Scotch is whisky, no person ever refers to themselves as Scotch but that's a guid auld bit of pedantry as this hit the screens just as WWII started to gather menace. The audio doesn't really do her any favours, but it's still quite enjoyable.
