SynopsisSet in the 1940s. The masters of Hilary Hall School for Boys are told that St Swithin’s, a girls’ school, will be billeted upon them. The staff try desperately to conceal the fact that boys and girls are housed together, but in vain, for the parents find out. They are about to remove their offspring when a message arrives: a third school is to share Hilary Hall. Against this common enemy, both staff and parents unite to barricade the gates.
