Whisky Galore - A Musical archiveHow can we fight the bloody Germans when we don't have any bloody whisky! 1943: the curse of rationing has visited the remote Hebridean islands of Little Todday and Great Todday and the thirsty islanders have all but run out of uisge beatha - the water of life. It's not just the whisky drought causing problems. Good Catholic girl Peggy Macroon has fallen for one of the soldiers stationed on the islands, Sergeant Odd - who's not just English, but Protestant to boot! Catriona MacLeod is having trouble prising meek schoolmaster George Campbell away from his Wee Free dragon of a mother. And the dragon herself seems too much in sympathy with the army authorities for some people's liking... When the S.S. Cabinet Minister runs aground with fifty thousand cases of whisky aboard, the islanders rush to take advantage of the unexpected bounty. But disaster threatens when Captain Waggett, the pompous English officer commanding the Home Guard, learns of the illicit salvage operation - and attempts to confiscate the liquor!
