The Welsh rugby match against the French in 1977 serves as the backdrop for this sporting comedy. A group of Welsh fans travel to Paris to watch their heroes in action, and cause a ruck to match any constructed on the pitch. Windsor Davies stars as Mog Jones, Hugh Griffith is undertaker Caradog Lloyd Evans, and Dewi Morris plays his son. Real life rugby stars Gerald Davies, JPR Williams, and Phil Bennett also put in appearances.
In this film version of Gwenlyn Parry's classic comedy, we discover that for a bunch of Welsh supporters, the words 'grand slam' can mean a host of different things, especially when included in the bunch, are an undertaker, the son of an undertaker, a boutique owner and a French hostess. The motley crew travels to Paris where they intend to bellow their support from the stadium hosting the France vs. Wales Rugby International, however the challenges that arise between the disagreeable bunch in the stands, prove almost more daunting than those facing the players on the pitch.
