Comedy in which a pair of Welsh miners, Twm and Dai Jones, win a competition and take a trip to London to see the England-Wales Rugby match but miss their reception committee and get separated. One gets taken in by Alec Guinness's effeminate garden-column writer, the other meets up with an old friend (Hugh Griffith), whereupon they proceed to get wildly drunk. Joyce Grenfell makes an appearance as a certain Mrs Pargiter.
