| Following World War II in peacetime Scotland, brigade headquarters replaces commanding officer Major Jock Sinclair, a boisterous battalion leader, with the strict, temperamental Lieutenant Colonel Basil Barrow.

Barrow faces an uphill battle in regaining the discipline and respect of his battalion. | |
