This first feature filmed in Irish follows the tale of an aging producer of poitin and the two young ruffians who rob him. |
The ruffians wore goatskin hats, gritty cloaks, and leggings of leather, all diffusing the odor of a hundred bathless nights and days. |
He was, in fact, a leader of a gang of Essex ruffians, whose speciality was robbery with violence. |
But Morgan makes enemies right away when he foils a mugging by a gang of local ruffians. |
For all the respectable clothes they wore, they had the looks of ruffians about them. |
Within a few hours even the toughest of the tough ruffians would break down and start confessing. |
