Comedy / War & Politics
During World War II, two very different bandsmen – one an ex-air force pilot, the other a draft dodging, scheming private detective – get caught up with gangsters and romance in Blitz-torn London.

When pilot Eddie Wallis is forced out of the Royal Air Force due to a health disorder, he falls back on his skills as a musician and joins the big band circuit, where he encounters womanising private detective Eric Trapp.
As the band set to replace their singer, the lads become involved in a plot to bring down a murderous Scottish gangster.
As Eddie continually tries to win Dolly's love, Eric's detective work unearths a massive scam.

Based on real characters and events, this haunting drama focuses on the personal sacrifice of a Prague history student, Jan Palach, who set himself on fire in protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1969. Dagmar Burešová, a young female lawyer, became part of his legacy by defending Jan's family in a trial against the communist government, a regime which tried to dishonour Palach’s sacrifice, a heroic action for the freedom of Czechoslovakia.

In 1945, during the final months of the Second World War, a group of soldiers perform for the Royal Artillery concert party, with comic acts and musical numbers for others prior to their departure for the frontlines. The party avoids partaking in combat duty; thus, the soldiers love being part of the outfit. Some even daydream of becoming world-famous actors when they leave the army.
