Genre: Silent slapstick comedy short
A newlywed couple seeks peace on their honeymoon, only to end up living next door to a bootlegger with a bathtub speakeasy—and a flood of noisy relatives. Hilarity ensues as the quiet night unravels into a boiling pot of chaos.

Synopsis:

In this rollicking short, chaos ensues in a sleepy Scottish village when two well-meaning but bumbling men, played by Andy Clyde and Billy Bevan, get tangled in a wild scheme involving a stolen goat, a runaway whisky cart, and a case of mistaken identity. Dressed in kilts and caught in a whirlwind of Highland traditions, the duo wreaks havoc from the pub to the parade ground in a fast-paced slapstick adventure full of bagpipe mishaps and barrel-chasing mayhem.
