With Nigel Green as Colonel Willowby, Laurence Carter as Trooper Dobson, Richard O'Sullivan as Lieutenant Halliday, Anthony Gardner as Lieutenant Alleyne, John Carlin as Captain Hinchcliffe, David Morrell as Regimental Sergeant-Major Smigsby, Harry Littlewood as Major Johnson, Alec Ross as Sergeant Groves

This drama, shot on location in the grounds of a beautiful country house in France, takes place in 1914 when the German attack is expected hourly. Private Dobson is awaiting a court-martial at H.Q. His crime? Killing a German soldier with an improper weapon, namely a penknife. At his trial he reveals, to everyone's astonishment, that he also feigned death in order to make his killing. The charge is changed to one of treachery. In war, he is told, it is necessary to have faith with the enemy and there is also the honour of the regiment at stake.
