Parkin is useless on stage so the other performers sack him. An angry Williams appoints him as stores clerk - at which he is also incompetent - and plans to send the rest of the men up into the jungle. They need a plan to prevent this until the absent commanding officer, Colonel Reynolds, returns. Rangi thinks of one but Williams forestalls him. However salvation comes when the men persuade Reynold's Number Two, Captain Ashwood, to put on a show built around his Noel Coward impression and cancelling the trip up country.
