A cheerful, slapstick comedy about a bumbling railway worker and his misfit companions navigating rural Irish station life with optimistic chaos and physical humor.

Comedy in which a bungling railway worker is given the job of stationmaster at a rundown station in rural Ireland, where his sidekicks are a toothless old gaffer and a portly young loudmouth. Hilarious adventures ensue, including a locomotive chase after gunrunners make off with a train.
