Set during the London Blitz of 1940, Tommy Trinder stars as a kennelman who volunteers for the East End Auxiliary Fire Service. The volunteers have to work alongside the regular firemen, who resent the amateurs but who could also not have saved so many lives without them. This film was made in 1943 with the help of the National Fire Service and is now seen as a tribute to all the professionals and volunteers who put their lives at risk saving others.
William Fitch (Will Hay, in his last film) is a disbarred barrister now summoned to court to face charges of sending begging letters. Falling back on his legal skills, Fitch manages to make mincemeat of the cross examining lawyer, Claude Bobbington (Claude Hulbert), and is found not guilty. However, this lucky streak does not last for long; a madman Fitch helped put in prison years earlier has now escaped, and is out for revenge. Fitch turns to Claude for help, but the pair fail to convince the constabulary that there is a real threat to Fitch's life, and are forced to track down the convict themselves.

Willie Van Wyk couldn't believe what was happening to her. Her loving father, Koos, had been her best friend, and now - just because she showed signs of being a woman - he'd rejected her and got rid of her beloved horse, Black Tail. Willie's descent into paranoia and instability is a heart-wrenching story. Life-changing events and release from hospital are followed by the repeat of an earlier traumatic episode involving the South African police and an accidental death. Enter Cathy: attractive, quietly ambitious, yet very caring. She enlists the help of her boyfriend, Peter, in enabling Willie to regain control of her life and claim her inheritance - her 'Garden of Eden'. And Cathy also has help from the greatest source of all. Here we find an uplifting Christian message in this starkly beautiful novel set against the changing emotional landscape of South Africa.
