Synopsis:

Forward march for vintage fun and laughter with legendary quick-fire comic Tommy Trinder in this raucous parade-ground comedy. Reservist Tommy Smart (Trinder) has made his fortune selling army surplus and is not best pleased to be recalled to barracks for two weeks compulsory training. Arriving with his trusty manservant, his dreams of a quiet life are shattered when he gets an ear-splitting welcome from his old enemy, Sergeant Thickpenny (Rufus Cruickshank), and the notorious R.S.M. Brittain, who s already decided Tommy is an 'orrible little man. The war might be over but with a mountain of spud bashing to do, some highly irregular night manoeuvers to be carried out, and romance in the air, it's just one skirmish after another around this highly active army base. Will Tommy make it back to civvy street in one piece? Also amidst the ranks of unwilling recruits is a young Rolf Harris, armed only with a pen, risking the Sergeant Major's wrath with his caustic caricatures...

This British comedy pokes fun at the rigors of army life as it chronicles the exploits of an army surplus salesman who must serve two weeks in the reserve. There he must contend with a tough old sergeant-major whom he despises.

Tribulations of inept reservists who find a fortnight's training an unwelcome interruption.
