Summary: Army Instructional film on the procedures followed by Army units in dealing with terrorist bombs, and how these procedures differ according to the location. A deliberate clearance plan is made for a bomb in a deserted rural setting, with the area cordoned off and intelligence gathered from every possible source before a Royal Engineers search team clears the area and makes the bomb safe. When a bomb is found in a built-up area a different drill is followed; the area is searched and cleared, a cordon put up around the site and the bomb is made safe through the use of a specialist bomb disposal robot. Public relations and the danger of sniper attack during the operation are also mentioned. The film begins with a series of clips showing actual explosions in urban areas.
