When Mainwaring takes leave due to an ingrown toenail, Wilson takes charge. He angers the rest of the platoon, though, by allowing the vicar and Mr Yeatman to join.

The platoon runs out of petrol and spends the night in a deserted – and apparently haunted – house.

Wilson inherits a title and consequently receives an invitation to become a member of the golf club that Mainwaring has been trying to join for years.

The platoon takes an efficiency test that will promote the platoon to twelve stars if successful.

The platoon will provide a guard of honour for George VI as he passes through Walmington-on-Sea. A mix-up stops another train in the station, though, blocking the King's route.

A group of American soldiers arrives at Walmington-on-Sea, but their presence is unappreciated when they begin flirting with the platoon's girlfriends.

The platoon is ordered to guard the crew of a sunken U-boat until the escort arrives. The escort is delayed, though, and the platoon must guard the crew all night.
