Margaret Harwood is a young wine expert and the daughter of noted connoisseur Sir Mason Harwood. After discovering a rare and very old bottle, Sir Mason sells it to a collector and calls upon less-than-refined Texan Oliver Plexico to escort Margaret from Scotland to the South of France to deliver it. Unfortunately, conniving scientist Philippe has his eyes on the prized bottle, and is willing to stop at nothing to get it.
