The Goodies are interested — especially in the bounty fees being offered for any children who are brought to the school — but the Goodies are unable to get any children to go with them.

The Goodies decide to go themselves, so that they can still receive the bounty money. They dress as children — with Graeme dressed as a schoolgirl (complete with twin [[Braid|plaits]]), Bill dressed in shorts and cap as a small schoolboy, and Tim dressed the same in black and white uniform, complete with a teddy bear. The Goodies are accepted as children and admitted to the school by the school's [[Matron]] and an [[Army]] [[Sergeant Major]].

The Sergeant Major is unaware of the true reason why the Matron wants the children and babies to be trained for [[war]]fare — he just wants to train them.
