Summary: Recruiting film for the Territorial Army.
Description: The film lays continual stress upon the pecuniary advantages of membership. The TA is characterised as the "best club in Britain", offering recreation facilities, training in radio and driving lessons without charge or membership fee. Training requires only a limited commitment of time and effort, and the annual camp is really a free holiday; "...you'll have plenty of time to relax and visit the local resorts." Adventure - "its the real thing". Social evenings for wives and girlfriends. "Sport, comradeship, training - you don't pay for these. They pay you." Tax-free bounty upon joining and the pride of serving the nation. The film ends with a recommendation that the audience contact their local TA office.
