The Deadly Attachment Captain Mainwaring and his platoon are detailed to guard a U-Boat crew. They upset the platoon when they try it on with the platoon member's girls. A fight breaks out which is covered in great detail in the local paper. The Platoon must provide the guard of honour. An earlier train stops at the station, and after taking some of Mainwaring's sleeping pills, the driver is out for the count.
Steps have to be taken to remove the train before the royal train arrives.
The platoon have to take part in a Home Guard Efficiency Test. The climax involves firing at advancing troops. This annoys Captain Mainwaring greatly. In The Night Lance Corporal Jones' van breaks down, stranding the platoon. They have to spend the night in a deserted house.
