Released April 30, 1936
Featuring Moe, Larry and Curly
Columbia
18.4 min. (Short Subject)

WWI has ended and the Stooges have been discharged from the service, but not before they exact some revenge on their Sergeant and beat him up. The years pass and our heroes have become bums. Trying to sponge a meal from a well-to-do man, he confronts them in front of a recruiting station and cons them to go inside for a job. It's only after signing up that the boys realize they've enlisted in the Army, under old Sarge's command again! Later, assigned to train on a mortar cannon at a naval base, they're unaware that target practice has been called off... just as the Admiral's flagship is cruising into port.

It is rumored that Holland's censorship board would not allow this short to screen in that country.  Documentation for this claim has not turned up.
