What happens

Reluctant Heroes is a 1952 British comedy film directed by Jack Raymond and starring Ronald Shiner, Derek Farr and Christine Norden. It was written by Colin Morris based on his 1950 popular farce of the same title. The play, which had its West End premiere at the Whitehall Theatre in September 1950, was the first of the Brian Rix company's Whitehall farces. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
