"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. Well, that was the theory anyway. Next thing, the jobs have dried up and everyone is flat broke. "Sally" tries her best to support her out-of-work population, but eventually even she runs out of cash and bankruptcy beckons. Then a newspaper headline announces that the government is to review the future of shipbuilding there and so the workers unanimously elect her as their spokesperson to head to London and persuade "Lord Randall" (Morton Selten) and just as importantly, his wife (Norma Varden) of the merits of saving the yards and the jobs. 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.
