When Gunner Graham stands to inherit some money, everybody wants to give him financial advice.
Whilst playing the RMS Lollipop, The Concert Party hear that Japan has surrendred on the S.S. Mersury and the Second World War is over. One single Japanese soldier has not heard the news that Japan has surrendered.
Now that the war is over, the natives return to their village. They want the men from the Concert Party to move out so that they can return to their homes. Sergeant Major Williams insists on dealing with them in a less than diplomatic fashion.
It's time for the men from the Concert Party to start the return journey to Britain. Everyone is supposed to have injections before setting off. The vaccine runs out before Lofty gets his jabs, so he has to stay behind when the others begin their journey. A new batch of vaccine turns up after the others have left, so Lofty is given his injections and, accompanied by the Char Wallah, he sets off to try to catch up with the main evacuation party.
