Synopsis

The film was shot entirety in Northern Ireland. The film utilizes the considerable talents of the Belfast Repertory Theater. Hayward plays Sam Mulhern, a faithful family butler whose master, Sir Brian O'Neal has staked his entire future on the outcome of the Grand National steeplechase. Unfortunately, O'Neal's horse loses the race. The rest of the picture concerns the efforts, both comic and frenetic, made by Mulhern to rescue the O'Neal clan from the poorhouse.
