Storm In A Teacup

Frank Burdon is a new reporter on a small-town Scottish paper. He's told to interview local politician William Gow, then left in charge of the paper overnight. He sees Gow being high-handed to a woman who can't afford to license her dog, and decides to run that story instead of the expected puff piece. Both are decent men, but a little too proud to back down, and the battle escalates into a criminal case. But at the same time, Burdon and Gow's daughter Victoria are falling in love.

My take

A charming battle of wills between two stubborn men that spirals into unexpected chaos, all while romance blooms in the margins. Perfect for when you want wit, heart, and the satisfaction of watching pride get its comeuppance.
