At the town meeting, the council are trying to organise the events that will take place in order to celebrate Saint George's Day.
Later at the church hall, Mainwaring insists on wearing a real knight's metal helmet, despite Wilson's objections.
Meanwhile, an embarrassed Pike is told to dress up as a Squander Bug using a costume his mother made him, but later manages to get out of this and becomes a herald instead.
During the rehearsal of the fight outside, Mainwaring is finding it quite difficult to manoeuver in a real suit of armour, and the men have to hoist him up onto the horse.
After falling off his horse a number of times, he eventually gives up and agrees to let Godfrey's sister knit him a suit of armour.
