Blackadder, Baldrick and George, in a trench in Flanders during World War I, attempt to escape from the trenches to avoid certain death under the misguided command of General Melchett.
Blackadder grabs yet another opportunity to return to England by organizing a morale-raising music hall show, including Baldrick's Charlie Chaplin impersonation and George's appearance as a lady songstress who captures the General's heart.
Blackadder tries everything he can think of to get sent back to England when orders come in to go over the top in the first charge against the Germans since 1914.
