It's Christmas 1944 and the precious Faggart Power Station is in the hands of the Killinaskully Local Defence Force. When a surprise visit from DeValera finds the troops QWOL and the Defence Committee tired and emotional, Killinaskully will have to mbilise the entire village to get back in the Taoiseach's good books.
