|||
==Plot== |
|||
The Goodies are annoyed when they discover that the [[Army]] is building a [[military]] establishment on what had been supposed to be a children's playground. |
|||
Disguised as members of the military, they provide the plans to the [[soldier]]s who are to build the equipment. The Goodies "assist" the Army and their plans lead to the Army 'equipment' looking more like a children's playground than the sleek military equipment the Army is expecting. |
|||
Then the Army gets another shock — the people who the Goodies had arranged to turn up to test the equipment, are not exactly what the Army had been expecting to see. |
