For generations the Stoner and Smith families have lived and worked on the canals. But now this idyllic way of life is threatened - the younger generation long to break away and discover life outside the barges. Ted Stoner (Robert Griffith) dreams of living in a big town but his girlfriend, Mary Smith (Jenny Laird), is more of a traditionalist - will their very different dreams tear them apart?

Directed by Charles Crichton (HUE AND CRY, dEAD OF NIGHT), this drama set during World War II centres on two rival canal boat families battling it out for supremacy.
