Tonight's play by Willis Hall opens with Corporal 'Johnnie' Johnson waiting at a Transit Camp for a transfer overseas. He suddenly finds that he and another corporal, Joe Trubble, are to be moved early next morning, en route for Malaya. But Corporal Trubble has taken the weekend off without leave and has gone home to Bradchester. Rather than see his pal face a charge of desertion, Johnnie sets out, without leave himself, to bring the unwitting deserter back in time.
