The film details to United States troops how to behave in Britain when they are sent to fight. Notable points include a section detailing the workings of British pubs, how to behave when invited to dinner, and an extended section at the end providing an example on how to interact with British children, strangers, and military officers.[1][2][3] American general John C. H. Lee, Beatrice Lillie, Ira C. Eaker and comedian Bob Hope also appear in the film.

It was produced by the Ministry of Information, through the Strand Film Company,[4] which specialized in documentaries in the 1930s and '40s.
