Dennis Price is an inexperienced officer who has to deal with refugees, after World War 2,assisted by his cynical Sergeant,played by William Hartnell.For some strange reason they are lodged in a disused theatre.Also rather strangely,the group is comprised of different ethnic groups,who are soon at each others that.Add in a marriage and a threat of the plagueto keep the pot boiling.
The problem is that it is all very theatrical and you get the feeling that there is a message in here somewhere.
