Plot: When shooting a TV show that documents reality, sometimes what goes on behind the camera is more interesting than the show itself... In the romantic comedy "Highland Fling," two television show producers, with opposing views and conflicting styles, go on-location to document a visit by HRH Prince Edward of Great Britain to a small Southern town in America which is hosting a Scottish Highland Games Festival. These two monumentally different human beings, a fun-loving Scotsman and a straight-laced Southern Belle, came to document reality but reality shouldn't always be documented.
