The unabated delight of a group of National Service conscripts serving with the army in Singapore to be returning to dear old Blighty is cut cruelly short when, half way
out of the camp's gate, the government back at home announces all recruits must serve an additional 6 months. Their situation is made all the worse by the continued
presence of Sergeant Wellbeloved.
However, it's not all downhill for the boys. There's a British hospital nearby, which means a steady stream of lovely English nurses to attempt to woo, and for Private
Brigg there are always the reasonably priced services of local girl 'Juicy Lucy'!
With Christmas just around the corner it looks likely to be a tough few months, but the boys are just concerned with staying alive and getting home in one piece.
'England expects that every man will do his duty!'
