The Square Peg (1958)
Wilfred Grimsdale en Norman Pitkin zijn twee wegwerkers die er genoegen in scheppen om voorbij marcherende soldaten te pesten. De lol vergaat hen, als ze voor dienst in de Tweede Wereldoorlog worden opgeroepen en onder de vleugels van een geplaagde sergeant terecht komen. En dan worden ze ook nog krijgsgevangen gemaakt door de nazi's. Gelukkig lijkt Norman als twee druppels op de Duitse generaal Schreiber, wat hij ten volle uitbuit.
