A grainy Cornish comedy by Carl Grose, about a scrap dealer who dies, leaving his three children each a personal memento. As his two sons bicker, younger daughter Maddy, aged 18 and very practical (played by Alex Tregear), comes in for his Cadillac Eldorado, 1956 vintage. The question of what to do with it turns academic since one of the boys has become a drug dealer, which means he owes a lot of money. How to raise it? Well, they live near to the stock car racing capital of Cornwall. Guess who'll be competing in the Caddy?
