For six years Sergeant Grimshawe has been a training sergeant but never the proud leader of a Star Squad. He accepts a bet from another sergeant that in the next intake, his last before retirement, his squad will pass out top. But when he's lumbered with a motley crew of inductees, Grimshawe suspects he hasn't a chance of winning the bet. (Via Vision Entertainment)
