Mainwaring dismisses the idea, insisting it will not work, but Walker and Frazer decide to try anyway, only to return bruised and battered after running into a bull.
Sergeant Wilson then suggests a Trojan Horse, with a haycart containing a platoon member being placed at the farm.
After Pike turns out to have hay fever, Lance Corporal Jones acts as the spy and discovers that the Highlanders plan to start early and sneak through the woods to get to Walmington-on-Sea.
Early that night, Mainwaring leads the platoon in rigging all the paths through the woods with man traps inspired by a Tarzan film.
As the platoon rescue him, they find themselves at the mercy of Captain Ogilvie, the last free member of the Highland Unit.
