Thank you very much for your time, and we will see you in the next video.

They are built.

That's what this little trip's all about.

Hmm, top secret, eh?

It means that every man in the flotilla knows about it already.

Still, I might as well have a word with the ship's company, just a Scottish room, eh?

Ah, is that?

You hear that, you hear that?

A captain wishes to talk to the ship's company.

Captain speaking, you may all have been wondering

what this trick security has been in Adal recently.

We are about to fire the first trial of a new top

secret weapon known as the acoustic torpedo Mark I.

Fireingship will be the fox.

Well, she's all set.

Looks like a dirty big gun, but I'm going to sway the moon, isn't it?

Yeah, I'll go and call the bridge ready for firing.

Already for fire, sir.

Hey, good.

Run, captain, Dean.

Stand by the fire.

Aye, sir.

Target in position, sir.

Very good.

Stand by.

Box report's already for firing, sir.

Very good.

Save no fuck to fire.

What the devil's happening?

It's a man, sir.

He's sending straight back!

Come on, survivors.

Have another cup of tea?

How will we do it all over again?

Why don't you log in to the 12th?

I can't take you to the ward.

Are the men being looked after the number one?

Yes, everything's on the control.

Thanks, everyone.

Thank you.

Why didn't you take evasive action?

I did, sir, it was quite useless.

That blasted creeper was hopping about like a piano drum.

Some pee.

What?

I said some pee, sir.

Look at them and no casualties.

I did get the men to abandon ship stations in ample times.

Oh, I know you did, Andrews.

I'm not blaming you.

There's something fundamentally wrong with the whole design.

Oh, yes.

I ring for you when I want you.

Bliss with?

Oh, I see.

Someone has repaired the bell, I take it.

Yes, sir.

I'll fix it myself.

I have to shut for you.

That is what their lordship to the admiralty and

their wisdom have seen fit to send to me as a servant.

National service man, ambitions to join the electrical branch.

They haven't helped the electrical branch be doeser.

They haven't helped us if he doesn't.

Yeah, I thought he'd look a bit stupid.

Yes, he does.

He's not all together, though.

In fact, he's got a first-class brand by my standards, anyway.

He knows his electrical theory inside art.

When it troubles when he starts joining bits of wire together.

What are you doing down here, slamming?

Any time you're elected to the Royal Society.

Come on, professor.

Do you never get promotion that way?

Give me a hand with it, look.

The plot will allow that weapon to be fired or to be caught marshaled.

You know, if I could have just one look at those plans,

I could soon tell you why it came back on its tracks.

Ah, who's talking?

It must've been your ears back when Bissie's talking.

But he don't know about electronic same worth now.

You know, it's more than that not up there put together.

No, they went to Oxford and Cambridge, didn't you, Bissie?

Why didn't he?

He got on the wrong bus.

Do you mind?

Ah, pipe down your mouth.

That Bissie explained.

Well, it's quite simple.

The acoustic torpedo mark 1, commonly known as the chief petio... A creeper.

To hone onto the enemy by means of sound waves.

Now, the synchronous impedance and magnetic saturation are responsible...

...for the destruction of the electrons.

Unfortunately, the person who authorised the trial of the creeper...

...miscalculated the distance between the salient poles and the armature conductors.

..

...resulting in a faulty excessive dielectric displacement.

He's right, you know.

Terrifying thought is struck me.

What's that, sir?

Well, the Admiral went abandoned the creeper trials just because of this hitch.

That means I'll be firing ship next time.

Well, what's firing you?

Can't you swim?

Give me another drink, number one, please.

Strong one.

Well, sorry, sir.

We seem to be out of gin.

Yeah, I'll add damn full bliss with again.

Trust him.

Ring for him, will you?

Yes, sir.

Get in to send another bottle out.

What do you want to ring the bell for?

You tell me to, sir.

I don't think I'll have another drink after all.

Morning, sir.

Morning, Bill.

I know a bit worried this morning.

I'll smell that girl trouble again.

Nothing quite as simple as that, sir.

The next creeper trials are fixed for the day after tomorrow.

How about the latest modification?

Signal from Aberdeen.

They're sending down a buff in called Potter, sir.

Due to a ride this morning.

But time, too.

We should also need the plans this morning, sir.

Why, hasn't he got his own?

There's another signal here, sir, from Aberdeen.

It's telling us to expect to come out of Phillips, US Navy.

Authorizing us to hand in one copy of the creeper plans to return to our same days.

Well, that's all right.

Have we got a couple?

Well, by the way, where are they?

Locked in your safe, sir.

Oh, yes, of course.

Oh, is there another signal here, sir, from the commander-in-chief?

Addressed to all ships and authorities in his command?

No, it's a bit narrow by this time.

Security against her.

He's having a special security drive as from today.

You're a passer.

I'm coming out of Phillips.

She's US Navy.

I'd still like to see your passer.

Excellent.

I was just testing your efficiency.

With my instructions, I wouldn't let my own father through those gates without a pass.

Thank you, sir.

The captain's expecting you, sir.

Will you follow me?

Thank you.

Come in.

Commander Phillips to see you, sir.

Oh?

The American commander for the creeper plans.

Oh, yes, I remember.

What's he like?

Like Mr. American, sir.

Fifty.

Will you see him?

Oh, I have two, I suppose.

The Commander Phillips, sir.

The American commander for the creeper plans.

What are you captain?

Good morning, Commander Phillips.

Nice of you to come on board.

Nice to find a ship left to come aboard.

As well as no laughing matter in the Royal Navy, Commander.

The ship's getting fewer and fewer without thinking our own.

Never get promotion that way, what?

How about a drink of something?

Isn't it a little early for that?

No, no, you're on a British ship now.

Simple bliss with number one.

I say I've been not risking that bell.

Not this time.

Sorry.

I expect you know I'm here, Captain Forstay.

Oh, yes.

Yes, I had a signal.

You'll return this plan to me this evening, will you?

That's right.

Washington may want to come in on your torpedo.

I'm very uncomfortable for him.

Well, now this plan, Commander, I...

No wonder that I put those keys.

Oh, blissful, sir.

The drinks, will you?

Sorry, sir.

What was yours again, Commander?

Well, if you insist, I'll have a coke with plenty of ice.

So what?

A coke.

Hello, blissful, have any coke on board?

I don't think so, sir.

We burn oil fuel.

Sorry, Commander, no coke.

I'll just have whatever you're having.

A large pink gin with plenty of ice.

Sorry, sir.

No ice.

Why not?

Well, refrigeration plans packed up throughout the ship, sir.

Have you been repairing it?

No, sir.

The dockyard mate is a doing that, sir.

Well, that's even worse.

Look, blissful, when am I going to have my bell again?

Well, I'm doing my best to locate the trouble, sir.

Look in the mirror.

You'll find it.

Mirror, sir?

Never heard of a mirror affecting an electrical, sir.

I'll never mind, never mind.

Three large pink jins without ice.

Bill, have you got my key?

No, sir.

You had it last.

You sure?

Oh, yes, sir.

You used it last night, when we couldn't find the bottle opener.

Can this be it?

How good you'll find it.

Thanks, darling, good, sir.

I must say you British take your security very easily.

Well, we have an old naval proverb, Commander.

Always take things easily.

Especially other peoples, huh?

Well, here we are.

Acoustic top in our mark, too.

Yes, that's all, thank you, blissful.

All right, sir.

Now, this car is the very latest modification,

so you will take care of it, won't you?

Perhaps I'd better sign for it and get going.

I've got a 20 catch.

Sign?

Yes.

You'll want the usual receipt, won't you?

Me?

Ah, here we are, Commander.

If you just sign here, there.

Thank you.

Oh, say sorry.

Yes, four times, please.

Four?

Yes, it's said it is all square.

Four sides of the square, you see.

It's the no naval customer.

Now, that's what I call security.

Three, four.

Thank you, Herr Ma.

Thank you.

Would you like it wrapped?

No, thanks.

Oh, you're welcome, you know.

Perhaps it's your own board, Commander.

You'd care to have a peep at the creeper.

Yes, indeed, sir.

That would be mighty interesting.

Come on, then.

Let's go.

Are the government granted?

No need for you to take the nickel to me.

I am not an inferior person now.

Oh, no, no.

Hello.

How are you doing?

Just thought of a puppy to see how you're getting on.

Oh, it's very nice of you.

What do you say, Ranjit?

Oh, I don't know.

I'm very interested in electricity, you know.

I'll say, could I help?

You can help to find out who's cobbled this lot up.

Cobbled it up?

Well, I don't know about that.

Ranjit changed the wiring in the icing department.

Oh, you did, did you?

Wait, don't do this.

Everybody, all out on strike, I'm a Ranjit.

Ranjit, runjit, runjit.

Runjit, runjit, runjit, runjit.

I have the shops to it.

But I was only trying to help.

Don't let it help.

Do you all think there's been a mistake in the diagram?

Well... What's that?

What's that?

See what I mean?

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

The transport hypertension conducted.

Yes.

It has been crossed with the double-dial trial there.

Couldn't he write...

He's... He's right!

There you go.

Now, three months ago, he was washing water bottles in the river.

Who did it?

But he's right about the mistake in the blueprint.

I knew this all the time.

My shot is little.

The shot is empty.

I knew he's right.

He's right.

Well, I knew I was right.

He's right.

I know about electricity.

See, it runs in my family.

He's running in his family.

Going fast.

Just a moment.

Just a moment.

What's your job?

Captain Stuart.

Hello, Captain.

Captain Stuart, eh?

Captain Stuart.

What are you doing with an electronic brain like you have on a job like that?

Well, I'm putting three times to a transfer to the electrical branch.

Did you hear that?

Three times.

He puts himself on a three times.

We bathe on the hood.

You'll just touch up a bunch of your turbid in a minute.

Did you hear that?

That would be a war.

International incident.

So, being a national service man, of course, I wouldn't transfer me.

Did you hear that?

That's enough.

Look here.

Why not lift the... Lift the... the... the... the aquatic soldier here.

Look at that and find out the mistake in the blueprint.

Let him check the blueprint first.

Proves where we are.

Runs it?

That's the most sensible thing that's come out of your curry hall today.

Act to happen that way.

You can't really check it out.

You can't leave.

Mind the 30 states.

Yes.

Thank you very much indeed.

Well, one of the things you know, we could have a sort of length of flex.

We're going to fix the captain's bell.

Up is so.

It's all our morality property.

Yes.

No skin of our knees, you know.

You are.

Nice fresh white piece.

Mind how you go?

There's a big time.

Runs it in the eye.

Don't you worry about this place.

I'll have it back to you as soon as I've checked it out.

Oh, now rush.

You've got more important things to do.

All is good.

All is good.

More important things to do.

All the professional things.

Tata, tata.

Look here.

Don't you ever go telling people that I'm washing dirty clothes.

Many buffaloes in the hookley river.

In India, in the hookley river.

We are having three bathed in the river.

Three bathed in the river.

Three bathed in the river.

Four bathed in the river.

River hookley.

Hello, sergeant.

Hello, miss.

I'm returning Lieutenant Commander Fanciol's bicycle.

Well, that's all right, Miss Foster.

We should know you by now.

Oh, careful, sergeant.

I might be planning to blow up a battleship.

Oh, so far as I can, sir.

You can carry one out in your animal butt.

I'd still turn a blind eye.

Here comes the captain's system, under.

Morning, chief.

Morning, Miss Foster.

Is captain Foster busy?

Never do, was it, you see, you miss.

Is with a creeper at the moment.

With whom?

Assie, with Topida, miss.

Oh, yes, of course, thanks.

It's really quite simple.

Also, I'm told, Commander.

Here, I brought you speaking.

You'll have the front and...

Front and... Front and... Well, of course, that's the back.

Isn't it number one?

Oh, I mean, yes, sir.

Yes, and this end is the front as a rule.

And this is the rear, as you might say.

Hello, David.

Hello, and you're out there.

Well, that's all welcome for a working room.

Working?

And they're rehearsing the ship's concert, sir.

Your sister is producing.

Oh, excellent.

Oh, by the way, this is Commander Phillips.

The United States Navy, my sister Ann.

Delighted to meet you, Ms. Forster.

She's the leading actress at our local repertoire theatre.

Going to produce our ship's concert.

How do you do, Commander?

Gee, an actress, huh?

The commander is just leaving.

Hell, I'd love to stay until I show business.

Oh, why not?

He has to catch train.

You're right there, Lieutenant Commander.

Well, goodbye, Captain.

Goodbye.

And thank you for...

Watch your step.

Good morning, Blistworth.

Oh, okay, good morning, Foster.

I hope you can stay to lunch, Ann.

We've got some buffing bloke coming down from the admiralty.

What time's it you, Bill?

Well, the signal said AMs should be any time now.

Oh, something to do with this creeper thing.

You'll not spend anything about that, Ann.

Stop secret.

Oh, nonsense, David.

Everyone knows about it.

Beats me while they just don't sell the patent at

its stands and let it blow up someone else's ship.

Thank you, Blistworth.

That'll be all.

Yes.

What's the trouble this time?

I don't know again.

I'm afraid so, Miss.

If only we could sell Blistworth to some foreign bar.

I wish you wouldn't be so beastly to Blisty.

Blisty?

Why not?

Personally, apart from being an absolute genius, I think he's really rather a pet.

I shall seriously have to reconsider allowing you on board so often, Ann.

Oh, don't be so pompous, David.

Well, that's a question of undermining the captain's authority.

Come in.

Many for rounds, huh?

All right, Foster, thank you.

And number one, you better lock that up in the seat.

Hi, I don't.

You haven't said good morning to Billy yet.

Good morning, Billy.

Oh, not exactly passionate.

At 10.30 a.m.

in your captain's cabin.

Really, Lieutenant Commander Fanshaw, what do you expect the sailors' hornpipe?

Anyway, I've got work to do in Lieutenant Baker's cabin.

Work in Baker's cabin.

Oh, don't worry.

He's lent it to me for the make-up and wardrobe.

Watch it.

He's a bit of a wolf, you know.

Baker a wolf?

Well, that's a laugh coming from you.

Goodbye, Blissie.

Good morning, sir.

Come on, you.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

That's it.

Damn, the force.

What have I done?

A captain, I'll see that, Lieutenant.

Damn.

Oh.

Damn.

Damn.

Damn.

What are you doing, Blissie?

Oh, man.

Mending your belt, sirly.

One of the cruisers all under the desk.

What's the creeper plan doing on my desk?

I thought I told you to lock it in the set.

I'm sorry, sir.

I quite stiffed my mind.

Anyway, sir, you have the key.

Oh, yeah.

We can't have top secret stuff like that,

knocking about the place for any downpour to read.

Although I suppose it's safe enough in this cabin.

I wonder what Philip saw.

That's what we were going to do with it.

Burn it?

Oh, man.

I can smell burning.

Yes, sir.

I can smell it too.

Blissful.

Oh, oh, oh.

Give me a few, please.

Hello, David.

What's the matter, sir?

Blissful.

What?

I'm terribly sorry.

Where did you get that plan from?

On your desk.

And then what's that there?

I don't understand, sir.

It's all my fault.

Ah, better it is.

She did.

Creeper plan was open on your desk, sir.

I couldn't resist a quick glance at it.

Couldn't you?

Blissful, I'll have you caught muscle for this.

David, I'm sure Blissful has a very good explanation.

It better have.

Well, sir.

I spilled a glass of gin.

A plate.

It's incredible, sir.

I was trying to dry it.

It's the only copy we have.

I'll have you shot for this.

I must take full responsibility, sir.

I left it on the desk.

Then I'll have you shot, too.

What time does Philip's train leave for London?

I think he's catching the 10.30, sir.

Well, quick, the firm.

There's just a chance of catching forri leaves.

Well, the devil's wrong.

I haven't charged the telephone.

It's a dockyard electricians.

Sure lines being improved.

That means we'll be cut off for months.

Somehow, we've got to stop Philip's and that plan getting to London.

Why don't you limb Bliss with your bicycle, Bill?

I left it at the foot of the gangway.

My bike?

Why not?

How do I know he can ride?

I mean, it's brand new.

I haven't paid all the installments yet.

Oh, don't be silly.

Anyone can ride a bicycle.

That doesn't mean to say Bliss with can.

Bliss with?

Mount the first lieutenant's bicycle and proceed to the station at top speed.

I ice him.

Stop command the Phillips and prevent that plan leaving for London.

I ice him.

Tell him it's one of the urgently here.

I ice him.

Bring him back with you on the step of Ness's reign.

I ice him.

We'll go on, man.

Come on.

Poor Blissie.

Poor Blissie.

Poor me.

To the heart!

Aren't you going to stop me?

No, sir.

Haven't you read my orders of today regarding the security?

Yes, sir.

Why haven't you asked to see my pass?

Well, sir, you're the Admiral, sir.

There are no other places here in the Admiral.

I could be an imposter.

Couldn't I frags?

Easily, sir.

I'll carry on from here on foot.

Alone.

Ice him.

I want to miss nothing.

Let him go!

Come on.

Right.

Right, man!

Last you!

Come on, man!

Last man!

Hey, you.

Where the radio do you think you're going?

It's a matter of life and death.

Who's death?

Yours?

No.

The captain of our ship, the Terrier.

I've got to get down the station at once.

Not without a pass, you won't?

I haven't got a pass.

Then you'll have to go back and get well, won't you?

But the train goes in two minutes.

And you'll have to leave without you, won't it?

I don't want to catch it.

That's all right, isn't it?

What am I going to do?

Go back to your ship.

See your cocks and get a pass and come back here when you've got it.

Be too late, darling.

That's a bit of a hard luck.

Thank you very much.

And you?

It's 10.45.

Don't worry, David.

I'm sure Blissie'll do his best.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I do wish you wouldn't keep calling him Blissie.

What do you want?

From the officer's watcher.

The commander-in-chief is approaching and looks to be coming on board.

That's torn it.

Yes, all right, I'll be up in a minute.

Why, sir?

Well, what do we do if he wants to see the creeper plan?

It's not very likely, sir.

The admiral understands even less about it than you do.

No, we do, is it?

I've got to keep out of the way.

No, meet us in my cabin.

Perhaps the presence of a woman will take the admiral's mind off the creeper.

Well, I like that.

I doubt if you will, actually.

If I find that rating, I'll have him strung up to the nearest yard arm.

Blissie.

Rating, sir?

Yes, confounded murderer, a roadies bicycle straight at me.

Not before six.

Did you catch him, sir?

Catch him, how the blazers could I catch him?

I must let him be back.

Oh, thank help.

Good help, sir.

Didn't even have time to see his cap telly to see what shipping came from.

But I'd remember his face anyway.

Bloody idiotic expression he had.

And the bicycle too, right blue it was.

I'll have a check made on every single bicycle in the dockyard.

Tell the persons make to ditch that bike of yours over the side.

But he's brand new, sir.

That's an order.

What's that?

I was telling the first lieutenant to dismiss the side partisan.

Very good.

And if you can trace that idiot rating for me, I'll have his scout.

Sir, when Blissie gets back, bring the plan straight down

to me and whatever you do, keep Blissie with undercover.

Six feet of earth to bless you, sir.

Aye, aye, sir.

Thank you, faster.

My sister answered the commodity.

What was the hell prepared to ground delighted to meet you?

I've heard so much about you.

Delighted my dear delight.

Here you can, sir.

Oh, thank heavens.

What the devil's been keeping you?

Probably short-circuited himself.

What kept you, Blissworth?

Where are the plans?

I couldn't get out of the dockyard, sir.

Why not?

Security.

What do you mean, security?

I hadn't got a pass, sir.

Had this man put in the cells right away, will you?

Aye, sir.

The cell, sir.

What for?

And don't let him out until I order you.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to join you as you tell me to do, sir.

And come on, please.

I don't understand this.

You know just what you do.

You can do it with the bicycle then, chief.

Thank you, sir.

Ditch it.

Oh, yes, sir.

Yes, well, I expect you two have got official

secrets to discuss, so I'll make myself skip.

Goodbye, my dear.

I hope to see you soon again.

Whatever you say, Admiral.

Foster, what time is this, Admiralty, scientist, fellow arriving?

Mr. Potter, sir, this morning.

Cool, I want to see him as soon as he arrives.

I want him to run over this new modification for me.

New modification, of course, sir.

You have the plan, of course.

Yes, sir.

What exactly is the new modification?

Well, it's highly technical, sir.

The first lieutenant knows more about it than I do, sir.

Who?

Me, sir?

Yes, you.

I wouldn't say that exactly, sir.

Yes, you.

You're just being modest, number one.

Is that the plan?

Yes, sir.

Well, let's have a look at it.

Aye.

Aye, aye, aye.

Cut it out.

Mind you, I don't mind confessing to you, that it's all greaked to me.

I'm just an old soul-tour, like yourself, Austin.

But we've seen your officers have got to keep abreast of every new development.

I can't understand how they make head-or-tail of these things.

Now, what's this bit here?

Is it what that bit, sir?

Yes.

Oh, that's... over to your fans, huh?

He's... they're bad.

It's part of the... the herming mechanism, I think.

I thought that was a bicycle.

No, sir, definitely part of the herming mechanism.

Not there, you're full there!

A bicycle, sir?

Yes, fast to a bicycle.

I distinctly saw a bicycle pass that porthole a moment ago.

Which you already had downwards into the harbor.

Was anybody on it, sir?

Of course not!

I'll check on that, sir.

Do that.

Right away, sir.

A bit of a pause, I'm not afraid, sir.

Was there anybody on it?

Was this?

No.

Oh, there's no use in my trying to decipher this.

I might as well wait for this scientist fella to do it properly.

Yes, sir.

Just don't want to appear behind the times with our lordships tomorrow.

Oh, of course not, sir.

You have two copies of course.

And no, sir, not until tonight.

You remember Commander Phillips?

Oh, the American liaison officer?

Well, that means that for the moment, this is the only copy?

Yes, sir.

I hope you're fully alive to the security implications.

Oh, rather, sir, yes, it's always locked up in my safe.

It wasn't locked in your safe when I came into the cabin.

And no, sir, that's because I took it out of

the safe when I knew you were coming on board.

Foster, you can't be too careful with this top secret stuff.

Oh, of course not, sir.

Accidents can happen.

Indeed, they can, sir.

Well, I've come aboard at 3 p.m.

shop.

See that clan remains in your safe till then.

I'll put it in straight away, sir.

Can you tell this fella far to be ready for his run through at 3 o'clock?

Yes, sir.

Chief?

Yes, sir.

You can fish my bicycle out again, now.

We'll have to grapple for a set, take a bit of time.

What do you want your bicycle for?

To ride in the Civil Street, sir.

I might as well resign from the service now, before I'm caught marshaled,

but I've chief takes some time.

Get on with it.

Eyes up.

Oh, and chief, let this for that of the cells, will you?

Eyes up.

Well, there's no point in keeping him locked up,

sir, till the admiral gets back on board at 3 p.m.

Not a lot of the point, anyway.

Might as well get on with our colours nailed to the mast, one.

The snag is, sir, the admiral won't be happy to be meets this wretched scientist.

If we could only think of some way of keeping them

apart, at least until we get the other plan back.

Heaven knows what time flips will return it, sir.

If you hadn't been such a fool and shown in the plans of the

refrigerator and officer, I was only trying to be helpful.

Oh, you shut up, you sound like blissful.

What are you saying, then?

Somebody said, don't have no lady, don't have

no lady, you've got a bicycle in a window.

What's that, Michelin?

Must be somebody boiling up a kettle of curry?

Well, no clink.

But when?

Oh, it's young, nice, sir.

Hey, but you've been up to sabotage, sabotage.

It really looks healthy enough to me.

Ah, far from the madding crowd.

He's far from the madding crowd.

What'd you do to get put in here?

I wish on you might, but do it all over again.

In a break?

You've been eating broken dirils on the ship?

No wonder the British Navy's going down the pen.

I'd enjoy it more, you was not in the room, right?

Come on.

They decided not to shoot you after all.

Oh, really?

First privacy off-hand on board, this ship on new is too good to last.

What about that drawing on the wall?

Well, if you like it, chief pilot or framing, you can have it.

Really, comical.

Clean it off.

Thank you, Bill.

Sir, thank you, Bill.

Well, cheer up.

They can't shoot you.

I only wish they would.

I take it down, you'll prepare a support job, brother, in his premature retirement.

Good law, it's working.

The dockyard electricians must be on strike, sir.

It's alright, I'll take it, sir.

Hello.

Yes, speaking.

The Admiralty.

Mm-hmm, go ahead.

Is that all?

Thanks.

Goodbye.

Alright.

A reprieve, high of a temporary.

Pot has been held up in Tanser, and won't be arriving till some time this evening.

How will that help us?

Well, sir, it gives us a sporting chance of

getting Philips' plan back before he arrives.

An unsporting chance of, I know, Philips.

He had that London lear on his face when he left.

He had kept a very last train back from Tanser.

I'll bet you a fiber.

Well, couldn't you keep the Admiral and Pot are apart until the plan arrives?

I've come with the old boy straining at the leash.

He's only waiting for this run through, and

he can't wait to get off to Tanser himself.

You'll probably wait on board until Pot arrives.

Even if you get the real plan, the Admiral's bound to recognize the

difference between it and the refrigeration plan, even I can do that.

Looks as though we're sunk off to all then.

Not necessarily.

How'd you mean?

I've got an idea.

Now, just tell me that I've got the facts right.

The Admiral will be coming on board at three o'clock.

Yes.

And he'll expect a scientist to run over the creeper plan which you haven't got.

Yes.

But you have got a scientist.

Yes.

Who?

Blissworth.

Blissworth.

Blissworth.

Well, don't you see he is a scientist.

He knows more about electronics than all of you put together.

She's right, you know, sir.

Blissworth, he'd never do it.

Yes, he could, sir.

He knows all the technical pattern.

All we need is for somebody to to blind the Admiral with science.

Or Blissworth were boring with science.

Well, so much the better.

The sooner the Admiral is satisfied, the sooner he'll drop the whole idea.

Absolutely true, sir.

Now, you know, if I agreed with the all criminal plan and how should we talk

Blissworth into doing it, you could recommend

him for a transfer to the electrical branch, sir.

You've forgotten one small thing.

What's that, sir?

Blissworth, the demon cyclist, once the Admiral claps eyes on him, he recognizes him.

Well, then we'll have to disguise him.

Now, I've got a splendid week in the stuff of the Flotilla concert.

Blissworth, he'd never do it.

You'll leave it to me, I'll fix him.

What have you got to lose, sir?

Only my ship, a penchant and a good name.

It's your only chance, David.

Send for Blissworth.

Hi, Isar.

It's good to be a captain, aren't we?

But, sir, I could never take part in such an immoral deception, sir.

You're not only good, but will, and that Blissworth is an order.

Supposing I refuse.

Sir, that will be mutiny.

Mutiny, sir.

For that you could be shot.

Then you'll be handed over to the Admiral, and he's after you're blood anywhere.

That's another thing, sir.

I've already bumped into the Admiral once.

I'll say you have on my back, too.

Now, don't worry about that, Blissie.

But the time I've finished with you, your own mother wouldn't recognise you.

Any change, a bit for the better?

A big deal, pardon, sir.

Yeah, I said think of your change, sir, to the electrical branch.

I have your word for it.

Then, sir, that I will be transferred.

Oh, I swear it, Blissworth.

I swear it.

It will be a pleasure to recommend you.

Please, Blissie, for my sake.

Very well, sir.

I'll do it.

I knew you wouldn't let us down.

I'm only doing it for Miss Fosterson.

Blissie, you are an angel.

This is where I take over.

Come on, Blissie.

England expects.

What England expects?

What England gets to entirely different things, Eiser?

Monday?

afternoon, Miss.

I wonder if I'd have a word with you in private.

Anytime you say, Miss.

It's about my brother's hair.

Your brother's hair.

Yes, have you seen it, Lady?

No, but I'll keep a sharp look out for it.

No, the fact is, he's in the first stages of creeping alopecia.

Everything's creeping on this shitness.

Well, you see, it's a nervous affliction, and naturally,

the more he worries about it, the worse it gets.

And he's extremely sensitive about it.

Oh, well, I can understand that.

Well, you have such a wonderful beard.

I wonder if you might... as it were, let him have a transfusion.

Right, can I spare a bit, Miss?

The colour just matches.

Oh!

All right, go on, I won't do it again.

Hold on, Samson.

Well, I hope I don't lose my strength, Miss.

Thanks a lot, Mandy, and remember, not a word to anyone.

Trust me, Delilah.

All right.

Tickles bit.

Looks wonderful.

There you are.

There you are now, what do you think of it?

Come on now.

Let's try it out on them.

Holy Moses.

No, sir.

It's me, Blissworth.

They were blissy.

What did I tell you?

Well, what do you think of him?

It's amazing.

Oh, that's guess to recognise him.

Your face is burned deep in my memory.

Oh, sir, please.

Now, David, That's right, sir.

You never forgot to grin and bear it.

How are you feeling, Blissworth?

Terrible, sir.

Blissworth, drink that.

No, sir, I don't drink, sir.

When I'm sure a potter does like a fish.

Come on down with it, Blissworth.

That's an order.

Oh, yes, sir.

What is it?

Look, my aunt and chief's car is coming along with the jetty, sir.

Right, thank you, clock.

The abble was arriving, sir.

Here we go.

And you better lie low in my sleeping cabin.

I will, with my ear to the keyhole.

And keep it short, Blissworth.

Blissworth, hi, I, sir.

And heaven help us if you fail.

I should do my very best.

You better.

Sir, thank you.

Come on, Blissworth.

You can do it.

Have another scotch.

A scotch.

Hey, I, sir.

Just a wee dropy.

Get sit.

That's the answer, Blissy.

A scotch accent.

Of course.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, Miss Blissworth.

Blissworth, look.

You better make your entrance in the bathroom.

It'll look less formal and prepared.

Do you think?

Aye, aye, sir.

What's been at the middle bit, then, Chief?

The moths.

Well, lose what's left of it.

It happened in the line of duties.

Lose it, Chief.

I like that.

Good afternoon, Foster.

Good afternoon, sir.

Is this Butterfellow arrived all right?

Yes, sir.

He's blowing my cabin.

Good.

Tell the men to carry on with their duties.

Aye, aye, sir.

All right.

Aye, sir.

What did you use, Chief?

A lawnmower.

Very humanist.

I hope he gets barnacles on his bicycle.

Any luck?

Now, I thought I'd got it that time.

We haven't had a bike all day.

Where is he, Foster?

It's extraordinary to say he was here a moment ago.

I think he's in the bathroom, sir.

Well, thank heaven for that.

One of the clean variety.

You'll know some of these scientists don't bother to wash.

Mr. Potter.

Mr. Potter.

The animals here.

Ah, there you are, Mr. Potter.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting, sir.

But, uh, I was caught with my trousers down.

I speak metaphorically, of course.

Of course.

Yes, well, this is Mr...

Well, I just told Mr. Potter, and this is the Commander-in-Chief Admiral...

Sir, I'm very petty-grower.

Delighted to meet you, sir.

How did you do, Mr. Potter?

Haven't we met somewhere before?

No, no, no, no.

I didn't think so, sir.

It seems familiar.

Well, of course.

It's not entirely unknown in scientific circles.

I don't move in scientific circles.

Oh, of course.

You'd be a bit giddy if you did.

I expect you'll like to get down to business straight away, wouldn't you?

Yes, I would.

Where's the plan?

Oh, in the safe, sir.

I hope so.

It wasn't there the last time I came on board.

Really, sir?

Flags, you better wait for me in the ward room.

Hi, I said.

Well, now, Mr. Potter, I hope you would be able to explain this modification to me.

Here we are, sir.

Good.

Oh, there we are now, of course.

Hello, sir.

A ticket that you're familiar with, the general principle of the mechanism.

Oh, yes, of course.

Well, I mean, I've just the usual layman's knowledge of the thing.

I've studied the drawings, naturally.

But I want to master the main facts about the new modification.

Of course, of course, of course.

Well, now, sir, the principles of this weapon come under three main headings,

you see.

There's magnetism, there's no dynamism, a photo sensitivity.

I'll deal with acoustic performance later.

I'm going too fast for you.

Right now, here we are.

A ticket that you can all about, the magnetic field, sir.

Magnetic field?

The degosing fields.

Damn it, man.

I must sail another farmer.

Oh, very well.

I'll put you down into one simple word.

Good.

Magnetic acoustic neutralization, sir.

Surely that's more than one word.

Well, there's two rifles.

Two rifles.

Oh, yes, I see.

Grand, grandson.

We'll make a scientist.

Oh, yes.

Well, no, a word problem is, sir.

I think I got it.

Chief, give us a hand with it.

I get nice and gentle, we don't want to lose her.

O'Rey and up she rises, O'Rey and up she rises...

O'Rey and up she rises, O'Rey and up she rises, O'Rey and up hers.

But their acoustic home and mechanism must come in neutralize.

Well, the torpedoes within the acoustic magnetic field range of the fire and ship.

..

You all right, foster?

Yes, Sir, perfectly all right.

Of course.

And nothing, sir.

Just to talk, tooth troubles are heard.

It was fine, ma'am.

I'm sorry.

To continue, please.

We could make the probability compute...

There it is again.

What's her?

That bicycle I saw distinctly.

Bicycle, sir?

Yes, fostered a bicycle growing in a downward direction like the Monday morning.

But the same bicycle can't go down twice, sir.

No, that's right.

I can't.

I tell you, I saw it.

It fairs or pop up on the deck and see if

there's anyone slinging bicycles over the board.

But it'll turn to stop it.

Right away, sir.

Tomorrow, I'll have a naval fragment down to search the waters around your stern.

If I find a bicycle and that bicycle happens to be a bright blue one...

I'll have an identification parade of every single rating in your ship,

Captain Foster.

I understand, sir.

I'm sorry, Mr. Potter.

Shall we continue?

Sir, quite all right, sir.

I'm sure that a naval bicycle is far more important than the torpedoer.

And now, sir, I'm free.

We come to the crux of the modification here.

Yes, sir.

You can watch a dish.

Yes, it's the...

It's the ice box.

The ice box?

It is the ice box.

It's just a pet name for it, sir, that we have in our department.

Of course, there's no ice box at all.

It just seems to look like an ice box.

It does, sir.

That doesn't it?

Of course, sir.

Of course, what it is really is a honeycomb, we buttery storey sell.

It still looks like the ice train is refrigerated.

Exactly, exactly.

And that's the reason for our pet name for it.

That's all there is to it.

I've got any questions.

No, no, no, no.

Not at all.

You made everything perfectly clear.

I can congratulate you.

That's all, sir.

I'm free.

I congratulate you.

It's very rare to find a senior officer with such a perfect grasp of technical

detail for beyond the ordinary scoop of visibility activities.

Well, you know how it is, Potter old boy.

We must master every phase of naval warfare sort of jack-of-all trade.

Master of none.

Grand, grand, grand.

Well, Potter, can I have a word with you, please?

No, of course, sir.

There's something funny about this chip.

Oh, Potter?

Don't you notice anything?

No, sir.

It's all on edge.

Oh, he's highly strong.

I expect so.

You know, these buffing laws are a bit eccentric.

Between you and me, I think the fellow is drunk.

Drunk?

Yes, Titus and now all of his breath wreaks of whiskey.

Whiskey, good, hemser.

Whiskey, midday.

Fifth, the American habit.

Never trust a midday whiskey drinker.

I wouldn't say I'm a gentleman, myself.

Me too.

You better watch him faster.

Oh, leaving to me, sir.

I'll be with him when he makes the modification tomorrow.

Do that.

And while you're about to lock up your whiskey,

I don't want any more accidents in the trials.

No, fear, sir.

Well, Mr. Potter, I'll leave you in peace now.

Oh, already, sir.

I'm afraid so.

I'd like to stay, but I have a heavy day of meetings all tomorrow in town.

What a pity.

And I was so much enjoying our little chat, sir.

Perhaps we'll meet the day after tomorrow.

No, sir, no, sir.

Unfortunately, you see, I should be working on the modification tomorrow.

And then I'll be taking butter for the scientific congress, you see.

Well, business before pleasure, no?

Goodbye, Mr. Potter.

Oh, goodbye to you, sir.

You know, I have a definite feeling that somewhere before I run into you.

Quite the contrary.

Do you see?

I sit down.

It might have been in the country.

Some country.

Hey, the country, as opposed to the town on the seaside.

I see.

Orkia?

Listen, you are wonderful.

A triumph.

I'm so proud of you.

Look out, she, there comes trouble.

Well, now what?

Chief, free my bike cup again, will you?

Why can't he make up his mind, will he?

Once that bike or not?

Go on, get crackling!

Well, thanks.

It's been an exhausting day.

I'm going to my office to sort out things for tomorrow.

I'll go through the latest batch of signals and correspondence with the secretary.

Very good.

And don't disturb me unless it's something of real importance.

I see.

I'll go through the latest batch of signals and correspondence with the secretary.

Amrithas, come on and chief secretary speaking.

I want to speak to the commander in chief.

This is Miss Agatha Potter speaking.

Miss Agatha Potter?

Research department torpedo mining, is?

My car's broken down.

I've managed to hire a taxi of sorts.

I'll be there late sometime this afternoon.

I'll go direct to the dockyard and report to the captain destroyers.

Miss Pond, I didn't quite understand.

Oh, take over the pips.

I'm sorry, I have no more change.

I'll have to ring off.

Hello?

Hello?

Very good, Mum.

Be careful!

Hello, Faggs.

Hello, sir.

How's the wild goose chase?

Wild goose chase?

Yes, that's why I should say the wild potter chase.

Oh, him.

He's not a bad little man for a buffoon.

What do you mean him?

Potter.

The buffoon.

But Potter's not a him.

She's a woman.

Miss Agatha Potter.

How are you talking about, sir?

She's just telephone to me.

Said she had a breakdown.

With due respect, sir, I think it's you who's having the breakdown.

We've just left Potter.

On board the terrier.

Get me Admiralty at once.

torpedo mining department.

Priority.

Admiral sir.

How a dammit, Faggs.

I told you not to disturb me.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's very important.

Oh, please, it's Kate.

Great heavens!

That man is an imposter.

I knew there was something fishy about it in the moment I clapped my eyes on him.

Get me Captain Foster on the phone at once.

Aye, sir.

Hello?

Yes?

Captain Foster.

I'm just a minute, will you?

The Faggs Lieutenant from Aberdeen House.

The Admiral, for you, sir.

Hello?

Oh, hello, sir.

Foster here.

Is that fellow Potter there?

I'm sorry, sir.

I didn't quite catch all of that.

I asked if Potter is still with you.

Potter, sir?

Yes, Potter.

Well, he's not actually with me at this moment, sir, but I

couldn't soon get hold of him if you would like a word with him.

Asking for Potter.

Find Potter in the rest of my once.

A rest, Potter?

Yes, he's an imposter.

Potter, an imposter?

Yes, Foster, an imposter.

Oh, that's impotable, sir.

What impotable, Foster?

Well, I mean, imposter of all that Potter should be an imposter.

Look, this is an order.

Find your Potter and arrest him.

Potter is a woman.

A woman, sir.

I think you're wrong there, sir.

With respect, he's most definitely a man.

That man is not Potter.

He's a spy trying to steal the plans.

The real Potter's name is Agatha.

And she's not due aboard till this afternoon.

I checked with the advocacy.

Yes, Agatha.

Congratulations.

I've sent the first lieutenant to arrest Potter, sir.

Arrest him, sir?

Certainly, sir.

Right away, sir.

Has the man got the plan?

No, sir.

It's safe in my safe.

Excellent, Foster.

Excellent.

Ah, here's the first lieutenant back again, sir.

But I haven't been away, sir.

No, what you were supposed to be in.

You told me not to go.

It's because I didn't want you to.

I don't quite understand, sir.

Oh, good.

Leave it that way.

No signs of Potter, I'm afraid, sir.

Ah, no.

He must have smelt a rat, sir, and he's made a run for it.

I order a general alert.

I have every inch of the dockyard search.

Get the hell out of here.

Well, I think you'll be clear of the dockyard by now, so he's had ample time.

At least he hasn't got the plan.

Oh, no, sir.

He was never alone with it either.

No possibility of him having photographed it.

None whatsoever, sir.

Excellent, Foster.

Now listen carefully.

Miss Potter has been instructed to report direct to you.

The moment she comes on board you to telephone me.

I have sent my card down to collect her.

Give her the plans, and she'll bring them up to me to discuss.

Give her the plans, sir.

I'd like to do that, sir.

I'm in security.

Or it's on a thing.

What the blazes can go wrong?

She's not a spy.

My driver's a wrench.

She's all right.

I mean, she's safe.

Oh, well, you shouldn't... if you say so, sir.

It's in order, Foster.

Hi, I, sir.

I'll telephone you.

The instant Miss Potter comes on board.

Give me my sword, Bill.

I'm about to commit harder.

Yes, sir.

Oh, don't be silly.

Bill, there must be something we can do.

When's Miss Potter?

You.

Your guess is as good as mine.

She might be here at any moment.

And Commander Phillips?

Oh, wish we knew.

So, in fact, we are back where we were this morning.

Oh, Anne, what are you suggesting?

Well, you've got to prevent the Admiral and Miss Potter from meeting.

Yes.

And keep Miss Potter away from the refrigerator plan.

Yes.

Or what are you both worrying about?

We've done it once.

We can do it again.

Oh, no, I am not blissful again, please.

He could hardly pass us a woman.

Hey, hardly pauses a man.

Oh, no, that's unfair, Bill.

Now, look, I've got a wonderful wig in the makeup

things, and I can easily borrow some clothes for you.

Oh, just picture blissful.

There's a female scientist, no.

Well, how many female scientists do you know?

None.

Well, there you are.

And I bet the Admiral doesn't either.

And at least bliss is a scientist.

Yes, but hardly a female scientist.

Exposing the real Miss Potter turns up in blissfuls at the Admiralty House.

Well, then she comes straight here.

Then we could keep her engaged, sir, until Phillips gets back with the plan.

There you are, David.

It's perfect.

Don't you agree, Bill?

Well, it's our only chance, sir.

If it comes off, we're saved.

If it doesn't, we'll sign anywhere.

All right.

Semphabeless with.

Hi, I, sir.

Don't read, fine.

Send for him.

I'm all the wrong shape for a woman, sir.

You'll be stuffed.

Patted.

Where'd he end?

Oh, don't worry.

For the time I'm through with him, he'll look quite something.

Well, don't make him too, sir, Dr. Van.

Remember the Admiral.

Well, we can let him wear a pair of glasses.

Oh, what about the voice?

Good, hems, Blissworth.

That's the least of your troubles, man.

Just put it up a tone, you know?

No.

Yes.

Delighted to meet you, something.

Oh, there's no good.

I put tone, I said, Blissworth.

Not up the crow's nest.

You're a control-tone, not a colorature or a soprano.

Yeah.

Delighted to meet you, sir, Huffrey Pettigrew.

That's wonderful, Blissie.

Keep it like that and you'll just sail through.

What about the clothes?

Oh, give me half an hour to deal with that.

Come on, Blissie.

And a lot of time.

I know.

If the real agatha potter turns out before Blissworth's ready, sir, what do we do?

Live on our pensions, won't we?

That's all right for some people.

Sir.

Well, the wig fits as though it were made for you.

Oh, I feel so terrible, fool.

Oh, nonsense.

You look fine.

Now for the hat.

Oh, sorry.

Now, if you take your hat off, remember to keep your hair on.

Oh, my auntie is busy.

Oh, and do you think I can get away with it?

Of course you can.

It's only your confidence, Simmy, that makes me go through with it.

Bless you, Blissie.

And, of course, your brother.

I'd hate to see him disgraced.

That's very sweet of you.

And again, there's left in the Commada fan show.

Oh, don't tell me you're doing it for him, too.

Well, you and him.

What are you driving at?

Well, you know what I mean.

You're in the number one.

What about us?

Well, it's come and talk on the mystics.

What is?

Well, it's your keen on each other.

What a lot of old women you sail as are.

What is true?

It's absolute rubbish.

Oh, no, he's keen on you.

Well, that's his maybe, but it takes two, you know, Blissie.

Why'd you keep coming aboard so often?

Well, so what I may be coming aboard to see?

Somebody else?

Not me.

Of course you idiot.

Come on.

Come on, Blissie.

Come in, darling.

Have that this way.

There we are.

Meet Miss Agatha Potter.

It's tremendous, isn't it?

Oh, congratulations, Anne.

Oh, Anne, Blissie.

Any detail we've overlooked?

Yes, I should have something to carry the plane in, sir.

Oh, I've got a briefcase in my cabin.

Shall I fetch it for the lady, sir?

Yes, do that thing, number one, please.

That is, Blissie.

Well, I'll find the admiral.

Now, mind how you go with the old boy.

Oh, boy?

The admiral.

He's got an eye for the women.

Well, best of luck, Blissworth.

Thank you, sir.

I need it.

Have you got your plans, sir?

Yes, I'm here, sir.

May I get an excuse, will I?

But get it back here as soon as you can.

Yes, sir.

I'll do my best.

Thank you.

Come on.

Where the hell did he dig up that old boiler?

Thank you, Miss Potter.

That's right.

I'm the admiral's flag lieutenant.

Charby.

How nice of you to come and meet me.

Matter of security.

Security?

It's these.

We don't want anyone to get hold of them, do we?

Shall I take charge of them?

No.

Captain Foster said I wasn't to let them out of my keeping.

Oh, I can see that you and the admiral are going to get along famously.

Lobs give a take.

Blimey, here we go again.

Hey, chief.

What the devil do you think you're doing?

This isn't the game, you know.

Bring it up again.

Ah!

My lobster, I think.

Give that to the captain's cook.

We'll have that for tea.

Good evening, Sergeant.

Good evening, sir.

This lady with me is Miss Potter from the admiral's tea.

I dare say you saw her when she came in.

No, so I only came and watched a few minutes ago.

Oh, I see.

Well, Miss Potter's coming with me to Admiralty House.

Will you see she's given every facility during the present alert?

My eyes.

Miss Potter, sir.

Ah, Miss Potter.

Good evening, Miss Potter.

Good evening, Admiral.

Something wrong?

Well, not at all.

I must apologize.

You see, you were not quite what I was expecting.

No.

And no.

I'll explain later.

Do sit down.

Okay.

I suppose you thought that all the lady bathins were just female dragons.

Well, I certainly never expected anyone half as attractive, if I may say so.

That's all right, Flags.

I look after Miss Potter.

All right, sir.

Have you the creeper plan with you?

I'm in the acoustic torpedo mark, too.

Yes, here.

Captain Foster, tell you about the flak we had this morning.

Oh, yes.

Terrible.

Yes, of course I saw through the fellow in the flesh.

One of those faces you don't easily forget.

Really?

Mad, staring eyes, fanatical, you know.

But he won't get far.

Am I five have been worn?

Red security alert all over the command.

Duck yard clam tight.

I wouldn't like to be in his shoes.

He'd be shot at sight if he makes a run for it.

Shot at sight?

Might that be a little dangerous.

Damn it, madam, the man is a spy.

Not in uniform.

When you put on a disguise, you become a spy.

Deserve to be shot on sight.

Oh.

But never mind, Miss Potter, cheer up.

Don't worry, your pretty little head about that spy.

The plan is in safe hands.

Oh, yes.

May I press you to a drink?

You've had a tiring day.

You're telling me.

I mean, you're asking me.

Well, I don't touch anything as a rule, but... If you are indulging yourself.

What's your poison?

Oh, well... Whiskey, please.

Whiskey?

No, not whiskey.

Gin.

Oh, that's better.

Gin, the navy drink.

Oh, really?

I always thought it was rum.

Rum for the ratings.

Gin in the wardrobe.

Oh, I see.

But reminds me, Miss Potter.

Have you any naval connections?

Naval...

Oh!

No, I don't think I have any.

Not that I know of.

You aren't one of the Portsmouth Potters.

Oh, no.

Are the Plymouth Potters?

No, no.

I'm one of the Palpero Potters from Cornwall.

Hmm.

You see, when I heard that you were a woman, I had hoped...

You might be the daughter of my old friend Admiral Salumbly Potter.

We were in the China station as Lieutenant commanders years ago, of course.

Oh, of course.

His daughter was born out there.

And if memory serves me, she was christened Agatha.

Agatha?

What a coincidence.

Yes, wasn't it?

Mind you, we always refer to her as the Yangtze Accident, Yarr for short.

Yarr?

Yes, Yarr.

Mind you, when she grew up a bit, she retaliated by calling me Humpers.

Humpers?

Humpers, Humpers.

Very quaint.

Yes.

She was rather...

This madam, what can we do for you?

I miss Potter from the Admiralty.

Oh, so you miss Potter, I am.

I have orders to report it once to Captain Foster, HMS Terrier.

Yes, we know all about that, we've been expecting you.

Oh, good.

All right, lad, take it.

I got it, hey!

Oh, it's a total resistance.

No mistake, all right, lad?

Don't kill me, I'll have a fair trial.

What are you talking about?

And why'd you keep refraining to me as him?

What a, no.

Fancy him dressed as a woman and thinking he could fool me.

Lay you on my dear.

Do you mind if I call you Agatha?

Please do.

I'm free.

That's better, my dear.

Isn't it a little early for that?

Well, I mean, the knights aren't drawing in that quickly, are they?

Well, we probably have to make our lonely nests as cozy as we can.

You have no idea, Agatha, how we miss the gentle female touch.

Well, this is one gentle female you mustn't touch.

Well, no.

Orton, we're to commence.

Any time you say.

I mean to work.

Oh, all in good time, Agatha.

But I have the plans.

So, how am I, my dear?

Delightful plans for a little take a take?

Quiet dinner for two, then you and I can spread ourselves over your plans.

And put our heads together.

Oh, damn it, Flags.

Must you come barging in?

This is important, sir.

They've caught him.

Caught who?

The Spicer.

Good work, Flags.

There you are, Miss Potter.

We can all breathe again.

Where is he?

In the garden, sir.

He was trying to get into the duck yard disguised as a woman.

As a woman?

How ingenious.

Must have planned it all to the minutest detail.

Oh, he tried to brazen it out, sir.

Said he was Miss Potter from the admiralty.

But the security police were on the board, sir.

By God, that fella has a nerve.

Yes.

There you are.

Proof positive of my identity.

Come in forge is every single one of them.

All right, nubby.

Shut these in the fire.

If you're not satisfied with my documents, I can

prove my identity by the means of one telephone call.

Oh, yes.

A personal call to the commander in chief.

It's a healthy pedigree, and I have known each other for years.

Well, I knew the old man got around a bit,

but I should hardly thought you as his type.

If you let me say one word, on the telephone, to the admiral personally,

that's all I ask.

Just one word.

Well, I don't see any arm in it.

Nubby, get a line on my everybody else.

We'll give it a go.

But mind you, if you're bluffing, it's the end of the long road for you, mate.

Everybody else, give me the flag we've done it.

Hello, sir.

Doc Yardman Gates here, sir.

Well of all, the cheek.

No, the admiral's engaged with this part of now.

Well, can't you wait until tomorrow?

The admiral will see him then.

Oh, I see.

All right, hang on.

I'll see what I can do.

Well, if you insist, Agatha, business first, pleasure later.

Have you got the plan?

Here it is.

I need mid-lasses for this.

Come in.

What is the flag?

Call from the police, main gate, sir.

Don't tell me the fella was escaped.

Oh, no, sir.

You'll know nothing and surprise me in this damn place.

But I'll have some efficiency here before I leave.

The spy would like a personal word with you on the telephone, sir.

With me?

He says he knows you.

Oh, he does.

But he's a cool customer.

I almost admire the fella.

The call's in the secretary's office, sir.

Right, I'll take it from there.

Hi, sir.

Sorry to leave you, Agatha.

Oh, don't worry about me, please.

But I'll be straight back.

And then we can really get down to things.

Hello?

Hello, hello.

Who's that?

Hi, sir.

Miss Potter, yes, I'll enter over to him now, sir.

Hello, is that you, Humphaz?

What did you say?

I did, is that Humphaz?

Yeah, insulting language, the Commando in chief.

Hello, sir.

Who the blazes is that?

Well, get off the line and put Miss Potter on.

Yes, you damn fool.

Miss Potter.

You have the real Miss Potter there.

Hello, Humphaz.

Hello, Agatha.

Is that you, my little yaw?

This is your uncle Humphaz.

Now, hang on down there.

I'll pick you up in a few minutes.

What's going on around here?

Donation, I'll have somebody's hide for this.

Good evening, ma'am.

Are you in trouble?

It's very kind of you.

I'm quite right.

Thank you.

Are you running away from somebody?

It's very kind of you to stop.

I was just accosted by a drunken sailor.

Give me quite a turn.

Well, ma'am, I'm a sailor, but a silver one.

If you'd give me the privilege, I'd be delighted to escort you home.

That's very kind of you, but I have to... Oh, there's just one thing.

I've got an urgent call to make it.

One of the ships in the dockyard.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Thank you.

You're American, aren't you?

Yes, ma'am.

Attached to the British Navy.

Aren't we all?

Especially when they're so bad.

Now, we're coming up to the dockyard gates.

Do you think they'll let me through?

As long as I can vouch for you, I'll explain that you're my guest,

and is you believing the dockyard again with me in a few minutes.

This is all very exciting for me.

Oh, and I'd better know your name, too.

They might want to make a note of that.

Potter.

Mrs. Oh, miss.

Miss... Miss Agatha, Potter.

Just you leave everything to me, Miss Potter.

I'm now on you having an American naval escort.

Good evening, Sam.

Good evening.

I'm Commander Phillips, US Navy.

Hello, your dockyard, sir.

No, but I have my identity, papers.

May I say this, sir?

I'm afraid I shall have to tell you to step

into the guard room, sir, and sign the book.

Oh, really?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's the Admiral's orders.

There's a bit of a scare on.

Well, very well, and... I apologize for the delay.

British routine, you know.

Yes, well, this all seems in order, sir.

Thank you.

I'll only be aboard the Terrier for a minute.

Then I'll be right back again.

I understand.

It's a passenger in the car, darling.

I understand you have a passenger in your car, sir.

Yes, it's a lady guest.

A personal friend of mine.

Well, has she got a dockyard passer?

No, I'm sure she hasn't.

Well, I shall have to enter a name in the book, sir.

If you say so, she's a Miss Potter.

What?

Miss Potter.

Yes, Miss Agatha Potter.

Hold him, it's the spy!

Hold up!

Nobby, did you see him?

See you?

The woman in the car.

Nobody got out of the car.

Close the main gate to me.

She's still in the dockyard.

Oh, that's useless.

If she's still got the plans on her, that's the last place you'll be.

Watch it, devil!

Humpers, you haven't changed one little bit.

Neither of you, Agatha.

Can I help you, madam?

Thank you.

Captain Foster is expecting me.

He's on a mistake.

I'll take you straight down to his cabin.

Thank you, my man.

Well, it looks as though she's got a way with a copy of the creeper plan.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have ordered Captain Foster to win Truster Tour.

We should inform the Admiralty at once.

I'll do that straight away from Foster's ship.

We'll have a council of all aboard.

We'll come to my car, Agatha.

Right, humpers.

Hey, Phillips.

You'll follow me with your copy of the drawings.

Right behind you, Admiral.

On the road to Mandalay.

Well, the flying species play.

Well, the dawn comes up like thunder.

I wish I were on the road to Mandalay at this moment.

Yeah, for me, too.

It would affect anywhere but here.

Sir.

There's a lady, sir.

A lady?

Oh, for me.

Oh, thank you.

About this torture.

What do you mean, Monday?

Well, she's not really your torture.

I used to tell a lady in the Lucius sense of the words, sir.

She says the captain is expecting her.

I'll say he is.

It's a lady.

He doesn't see you, sir.

By the way, it's you.

Yes, sir.

I'd be obliged if you could forget that this lady ever came on board.

Sir, then, we, sir.

Go ahead and understand, sir.

How does it creep in Ella, Pisha?

I'm watching.

You know her, yeah.

Are you talking about, man?

It's another one of our little secrets.

He, man, as I had her Monday, cracked as a tea-bond, sir.

Mission accomplished, sir.

Well done, Blissworth.

Captain Fossil, aboard.

Yes, sir.

Is he expecting you?

No, he is not.

I'll surprise him.

Touch and go, eh?

I'll say it, Wilson.

Quick, there's someone coming.

Blissworth, this way.

Good evening, Foster.

Good evening, sir.

I have some very serious news for you.

This is Miss Agatha Potter.

What, you mean... Mr. Potter?

Good heavens.

Exactly.

Well, then, sir, who?

She's a spy.

And she's got clean away with your copy of the acoustic torpedo.

No, sir.

She hasn't.

I'll ring the admiralty at once and explain.

What did you say?

I said no, sir.

She hasn't.

I was not entirely satisfied, sir, with the way Miss Potter was behaving.

In view of my suspicions, I was most reluctant to give her a copy of the plan.

Yes, I remember.

Yes.

Uh, number one, please.

Of course.

I'll answer in view of your order.

I gave her another plan.

The real plan has been under lock and key in my safe the whole time, sir.

Excellent, Foster.

Excellent.

Oh, this is it, all right.

The genuine article.

And what does the spy get away with?

The wiring diagrams serve the ship's refrigerator room.

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

The wiring diagram of the ship's refrigerator?

I never had any so funny in my life.

Oh, really, sir.

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Ha!

Can you imagine anybody falling for that?

Oh, Foster, I have yet decorated for this.

I only did my duties, aren't I?

Oh, dear.

Is there anything wrong there?

Oh, I heard female laughter.

Female laughter?

From behind that door.

My sleeping cabin.

Let's see about this.

Miss Foster.

Good evening, sir, haven't for you.

You really must forgive me for eavesdropping, but it was so terribly funny.

What?

Oh, yes, I've got it.

Wasn't it?

You do come and join us.

That Miss Potter, this is Captain Foster's sister.

Oh, how do you do, Miss Potter?

How do you do, Miss Foster?

Come on, the Phillips.

Oh, hello, come on, Beth.

I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Foster this morning.

Well, you mustn't let me disturb you, sir,

I'm sure you've all got a lot of work to do.

The best way you can help is in our work, my dearest, to give us all a drink.

Oh, do, forgive me, sir.

Come back to me, David, you just carry on.

Even if I do hear what you say, it'll all be great to me.

You have your copy of the pen.

Oh, yes, sir.

Well, I'm sure yours, why Miss Potter explains the modification.

The modifications?

Yes, I do think perhaps it might be a good idea if you shared with this potter,

and then, number one, and I could look over the command of Phillips, is it?

It might make it easier for you to follow.

Oh, very good.

One word out of you, I'll have you caught my soul from neglect of duty.

He means it.

Thank you, dear.

I know it's been for you, Admiral.

Thank you, my dear.

You know, Foster, the one thing to make my day complete would be to lay hands on that

lunatic rating that ran me over this morning.

Oh, really, sir?

Yes.

I'd recognize him at once if I saw him again.

Oh, really, sir?

I'm tidy, looking fellow.

Neasurable face.

Man, staring eyes.

Big, gaping mouth.

About five feet, nothing.

How am I supposed to?

Aren't you quite ready?

I'd better be apart, my dear.

Now, about this degarsing coil.

Yes, the icebox.

Icebox?

No, it does look rather like one, doesn't it?

However, it's the inherent magnetism of the

degarsing coil that's caused all the trouble so far.

I only hope we've mastered it this time.

I beg your pardon, madam.

But it is not the degarsing coil at all.

It's a differential coefficient.

This is it.

Prepare to abandon ship.

What did you say, young man?

I said it, sir.

Not the degarsing coil at all, madam.

Of course, ladies, do you mean by bursting in lightness?

Foster, who is this fellow?

Who else?

He's... Just a minute.

I know you.

You're the blasted road-lock that ran me over this morning.

Name, name, name.

Bless with, bless with, bless with, sir.

Put it on the rest.

Number one.

The same for the carcasson.

Hi, Isaac.

Just a minute.

Just a minute.

Agatha, this is naval business.

It also happens to be my business.

The man's got something.

I don't know why we didn't think of it before.

Now, I was at who was saying about the degarsing coil.

Well, madam.

I think it's been placed too far from the outer casing.

You see, excuse me.

The...

The recoil allowed just here.

There, you see.

Of course.

Oh, gracious.

Hamper's.

He solved it.

solved what?

I don't know how he overlooked it.

The man's perfectly right.

That's the reason the thing turned round.

Really?

But what about him running me over this morning?

Oh, that was obviously an accident.

Well, of course it was an accident, sir.

I didn't mean to run you over, sir.

Meant to?

If I thought you meant it, I'd have your bloody Hamper's.

Well, I'm sorry, Hector.

I'd like Mr. Blissworth's help with this modification.

I'd like me to call on his services over the next few days.

Well, I... Can you make this for a little available, Foster?

With pleasure, sir.

Excellent.

Now, Hamper's.

I think you said something about dining with you at Admiralty House.

Yes, Madam, I'll drive you there right away.

Thank you.

Goodbye, Mr. Blissworth.

The Admiral will no doubt send his car for you in the morning.

Where we can work together in the privacy of Admiralty House.

Thank you, Madam.

That will be nice.

You have a genius on your ship, Captain Foster.

Thank you.

Makes a chance.

Sorry to lose you, Blissworth.

I'm his judge, sir, you know.

No hard feelings.

Of course, sir.

It's a reason for us, huh?

Stand by.

Mr. Specula.

Oh, very peculiar.

Yes, mostly peculiar.
