“In Captain Jim, a bequest to Norah through her father of an estate in England fosters action to turn it into a home for “Tired People”: recuperating war wounded with nowhere nearby to call home.  Finding suitable staff for the project has both painful and happy moments and the guests start coming in. Jim and Wally return to the Front Line, where Jim’s exuberant antics win him his Captaincy.”
