The third in a sequence of plays concerning the fortunes and misfortunes of the young subaltern Charles Willoughby. From King Farouk's Egypt he is posted to Italy and after the peace is painfully involved in the re-settlement of refugees. Chastened by his experiences, he returns to postwar England and a section of society that closes its eyes to any form of change. Events that may seem funny on the surface have a different effect upon the thinking man - and ex-actor Willoughby has learnt to think.
