Even so, the officers above deck start to puzzle over the increasingly strange happenings on board.

It's Great To Be Young (Dir: Cyril Frankel) (1956): Mr. Dingle is the popular music teacher in an English school, but when the headmaster threatens to close down the school band the pupils and Mr. Dingle must unite and use their musical skills to save the school band.
