Classic sitcom about the Home Guard unit of Walmington-on-Sea. Captain Mainwaring receives a challenge from the Chief Warden to play his platoon at cricket. A team is mustered including Sergeant Wilson, who is something of an all-rounder. Lance Corporal Jones volunteers to keep wicket. But, unbeknownst to Mainwaring, the wardens have signed up EC Egan who, were it not for the war, would be bowling for England.
