Captain Emily Ridley receives her marching orders to take up a new posting, but to where? To another northern Sodom or Gomorrah - or to the Salvation Army home for old soldiers?
Emily puts the Sally Army's reputation at stake when she agrees to compete in a musical festival - without a band, singers, or even a comb and paper!
Despite weeks of fighting the good fight, Emily still hasn't saved a single soul. Then she hits the jackpot of original sin.
Emily is convinced she is about to get her longawaited promotion, but what she actually gets is something rather different.
Accused of running her citadel like a house of ill repute, Captain Emily Ridley's Sally Army career seems to be almost over...
Songster, Alice Meredith tries to save a middle-aged dropout from himself, but is Brother Gibson quite what he appears?
The secrets of Captain Emily Ridley's private life are about to be revealed...
