- Fall In for madcap military mayhem and plenty of barmy army antics in this zany British comedy gem set in Swinging Sixties London Town? An eccentric Army psychiatrist (Terry-Thomas) decides to test the gumption of our boy's in Khaki by sending a bunch of them off on a grand scavenger hunt around the streets of London. Their mission - to grab everything from a pop star's autograph to the famous Lutine Bell from Lloyd's of London?
