Description: There's no such thing as problems, only opportunities." That's the philosophy of Harry Grimshaw, the hapless manager of a working men's club on the outskirts of Glasgow. Harry's philosophy is put to the test when he arrives for work one evening and finds the club has been double-booked for a group of country and western enthusiasts and an Indian birthday celebration - a situation made even more difficult by the inflexibility of the two bands booked by the respective parties. With guests arriving left, right and centre, will Harry find a way to keep everyone happy or will the night end in disaster?
