Synopsis
The year is 1800. Ianto and Dyn, two Welshmen, are on the run as the result of a practical joke played on a hated English officer. Dyn is a dwarf who has a way with women, and Ianto is a young man on a mission. Their adventures range from shore to sea and back again, as they elude the hangman's noose-sometimes by a thread.
