Captain Povey has built a reputation for shutting down redundant naval bases, and now has his eye on the minesweeping detachment on Boonzey Island (55.5 miles from Portsmouth, a Channel Island). Arriving on inspection, he is told tales of finding many Naval mine in the sea there and not believing them goes out in the minesweeper HMS ''Trumpton''. The crew were supposed to find "Bessy", a mine-shaped object used to collect Lifeboat funds but found a real mine instead, which Pouter bashes about in an effort to take it apart. Released, it explodes nearby and this convinces Povey that the incompetents there are not up to the job and he decides on using a competent crew to do the job.
