The boys are looking forward to their first leave, and an opportunity to get out of the camp at last. A dance at the local village hall beckons.

The boys of C Flight are delighted to have 36 whole hours' leave. Ken and Jakey soon get into a spot of bother in London with some of Jakey's old teddy-boy mates.

Jakey's got some sets of cheap hankies he has it in mind to sell, which causes an awful lot of trouble as C Flight collect their kit from the stores.

Returned from leave, Ken, Jakey, Leckie and Lilley arrive at RAF Midham to begin their next round of training - as nursing attendants.

As C Flight prepare themselves for a first visit to the M.O., it seems Leckie is finding hsi service far tougher than the others. Could a few careless words about suicide from Cpl. Marsh put ideas in his head?

Christmas has arrived and C Flight's Jakey, Leckie, Lilley and Ken are the only boys left on camp, as the appointed maintenance crew over the season. Alice instructs Cpl. Marsh to invite them for dinner.

Lilley's parents invite Marsh - the hero - to give a rousing talk at their church hall; but seeing everyone fawning over the deceitful bully sends Matthew round the bend, and he develops a nasty streak like Marsh himself.

The food being served up in the camp canteen continues getting worse and worse, as Cook-Corporal Jenner runs a side-line in offloading as much as possible to line his own pocket. C Flight decide to take a stand.

Marsh hatches a cunning plan to ensure C Flight graduate top of their intake, ensuring him his long-desired third stripe and a promotion to the rank of Sergeant.

Lilley's principles are fast getting in the way of smooth relations amongst C Flight, before Marsh nails his boots to the floor.

C Flight are initially put out when their regular routine is changed; but as it's in favour of some real training - both with guns on the ground, and on a real air flight - they quickly change their minds. Corporal Marsh, however, is far less keen with the latter endeavour.

A new set of recruits arrive for their two years of National Service at RAF Skelton, and proceed to become particular enemies of their Drill Instructor, Corporal Marsh.

The lovely Comtesse la Valliere, formerly a spy for Chauvelin, changes sides when she learns of the impending execution of dozens of moderate French revolutionaries.

Giving one of Sir Percy's agents false information, Chauvelin hopes to lure the man he thinks is the Pimpernel into the open. He achieves his aim but is astonished when a 'simple minded' farmer's boy (the Pimpernel in disguise) arrives.

Sir Percy notices a beautiful woman showing an unusual interest in the Prince Regent's affairs and is unconvinced by her replies to his questions. Perhaps it's time for the Pimpernel to show his true colours.

Why would an American who desperately needs the Pimpernel's help challenge him in a duel to the death? Sir Percy must find a way to protect his second identity and protect the man, at the same time.

In his strangest mission yet, the Pimpernel must rescue a young man accused of being the Pimpernel - and discover whether Chauvelin was behind a plot to plant the false avenger in France.

The Pimpernel goes back into danger to rescue a serving girl. Ginette is a lovely and spirited young woman and he finds himself falling for her and wondering what a different life would be like.

Sir Percy hears about it and hatches his own scheme, rescuing the Countess and her servant from under Chauvelin's nose and smuggling them to England. Outraged, Chauvelin travels to England, planning to kidnap the countess and bring her back to France. Meanwhile, the Prince has hired a Chinese decorator to remodel a wing of the palace, and Sir Percy decides to use the man in his plan to thwart Chauvelin's plot.

Sir Percy is always ready to make a wager. However, betting on the outcome of the Pimpernel's latest escapade could be dangerous - and even cost him his freedom.

While smuggling aristocrats out of France, Andrew and Richard are pursued by Chauvelin's agents. Andrew is shot and wounded, and Richard is forced to leave him behind. Sir Percy must return to France to find Andrew and get him out of the country, a task complicated by the fact that Percy doesn't know where Andrew is and Chauvelin has his agents out looking for Andrew, too.
