London 1939: Bradley has much to gain from another war and prevents his son Austin from returning to the PM with a peace document from Germany. Lady Patience refuses to allow the threat of war to interfere with the Annual Ball at Lancaster House.

When Bradley hears of the government's plans to scrap production of his latest invention, the midget submarine, he uses his contacts in the civil service to get an announcement in the House of Commons that the contract has been extended and that his son Austin has volunteered to test the new naval devices.
