An entomologist (Michael J. Vogelsang) is enjoying the seclusion that he needs as he researches a new species of insect. While away, the strains of family life start to pull at him. His problems are compounded when his benefactor voices some concerns regarding the direction of the insect research that he is doing. Lastly, things take an even darker turn when he starts being eaten alive by a mass of fleas. Taking matters into his own hands, the entomologist decides that the only way to combat everything is to cut the flea bites from his skin... and then amputate his leg.

Tonderai, a young Zimbabwean boy living in a South African township, watches as a xenophobic mob runs rampant through his neighbourhood. He watches over his gravely ill younger brother, who becomes desperate for drinking water.

First half of film portrays life in port, including rum issue, distribution of letters, and taking on ammunition, the remainder tells the story of an action against German S-boats, in a stock-shot compilation including some captured film. Officers briefed; boats leave harbour, put to sea, "action", a Nazi naval flag is reclaimed from wreckage in the sea, and the motor torpedo boat (MTB) returns to port flying it below the British White Ensign. Film ends with a sequence showing the funeral of a Canadian seaman.

A flea befriends a horsefly, who has hooves like those of a horse, and rides the horsefly into the hair of a dog. The flea chops down strands of the dog's hair to use as "logs" with which to build a cabin, unaware that the dog's coat is the sacred territory of a tribe of Indian fleas, who declare war on the interlopers. The Indians capture and are about to burn the flea and the horsefly when the dog jolts in pain from the fire. The flea and the horsefly free themselves and flee the Indians through the hairs on the dog's carcass.

The fi lm depicts the everyday life of an internship for apprentices in a typical small-town boarding school in Socialist Czechoslovakia. Jana rebels against the rigid structures of the institution much to the admiration of the majority of the girls. She does not want to become a “model worker”: she has a boyfriend and wants to see him as much as she can and dance rock-and-roll and she despises the supervisor’s hypocrisy. The teachers try in vain to make the girl conform to the dominant social models: the girl begins to neglect her work and refuses to speak.
