Independently produced drama, directed by Bernard Miles and Julien MItchell as Stevens and Morris, two of a group workers who agree to swap places with Dickinson, their stressed factory owner, and take over and run the plant. The film's sentiments seemed controversial on release but the ending, with management and workers pulling together at the time of crisis, provides a conclusion to suit all political hues.
