In a future England where a weird form of religion has resulted in a country-wide ban on drink, The Flying Inn follows the madcap adventures of a rowdy Irishman and English pub owner who, equipped with a cart of rum and a stolen tavern sign, attempt to outwit the police and undermine the new order. This hilarious send-up is perhaps even more relevant nearly a century later.
