A satirical sketch on the rigours of petty military discipline. During an inspection by a visiting General, who is out of touch with the realities of military procurement, the regimental cook almost saves the day by lying about the food served up to troops. But as the General is about to depart he notices the cook isn't wearing an identity disc.
