The Portuguese businessman who rents the beds and leases the cars is referred to, unaffectionately, as Al Capone. Returning from a night's work, crews breakfast-usually on whisky to untangle their gut knots-sleep, swim, send money home. Like all airmen, they do a lot of ground flying: when their ecclesiastical employers are out of earshot, they talk of bombing Lagos or heroically knocking down the Intruder by maneuvering...

...tuneless bomb ("Hell No!) and two slow love songs that haven't a funny line in them, the songs are lively and clever, but spoiled by extremely unimaginative choreography. One step to the right, kick, one step to the left, kick, one step to the back, kick ... gets dull. However, "The Comic Strip", was evidently choreographed by Bryna Rifkind (as Joy Juice), a Lesley junior who has been in two previous Law School shows and has her bumps and grinds down...
