The Bulldog Breed (1960)
Norman Puckle, een goedbedoelende maar onhandige kruideniersassistent, lijkt niets goed te kunnen doen. Nadat hij is afgewezen door Marlene, de liefde van zijn leven, probeert hij zelfmoord te plegen, maar zelfs dat lukt hem niet. Hij wordt gered van het springen van een klif bij 'Lover's Leap' door een onderofficier van de Royal Navy. Hij haalt Puckle over om bij de Royal Navy te gaan, waar hij 'veel meisjes' zal ontmoeten. Het leven bij de marine blijkt niet zo rooskleurig te zijn als het is beschreven, en Puckle faalt in elke taak tijdens de basistraining. Maar desondanks wordt hij door de admiraal die de leiding heeft over een raketproject beschouwd als een 'typische gemiddelde Britse zeeman', en gekozen om de eerste man te zijn die in een experimentele raket de ruimte in vliegt.
