[edit] Synopsis
During an exercise, Mainwaring casts himself as a highly important secret agent whom his platoon must escort to a clandestine destination. GHQ has put out counter-agents to catch him, so the platoon decides to trust no-one - not the two stranded nuns, nor the woman with a pram, and definitely not the doctor that who appears with some story about an escaped gorilla in the woods. Frazer comments that is it "sheer rrrubbish", and Mainwaring agrees, but then Hodges arrives with news of "an 'orrible hairy monster on the loose", and they have cause to think again.
