The men sleeping in Stanley Prison hold an impromptu concert. They enter the prison singing, led by an improvised band: a few men have real instruments (an accordion and a mouth organ), others use combs, while Sergeant Kinlock has turned his bedding into a drum.
A furious 'Japanese executioner' (probably Hirano) attacks the accordion player (Geoffrey Watson), who manages to avoid being harmed by his blows. The Japanese examine the accordion, perhaps believing it to be a bomb.
