Adapted from Spike Milligan's comic novel this story, in the vein of PASSPORT TO PIMLICO, where a small area of land is segregated from the rest of society. When an Irish Free State is set up in the 1920s when the Sligo border is drawn bisecting the Irish village of Puckoon right down the middle, through the middle of the pub and the churchyard. Milligan's digs at the stupid Brits, the military and religion are typically absurdist and feature a comedic IRA and catholic coffin-smuggling. (official distributor synopsis)
