Joe is a Private in the Starvanian army, newly stationed at Camp Fullabullets with his friend Pvt. Hawthorne. Sgt. Bonebreaker is sweet on Joe's fiancee Olga, which leads to additional tensions in drill training as the Sarge deals with Joe's and Hawth's bumbling. Meanwhile, Col. Pretzelbender is dealing with a report of enemy spies on the base, when he's not caught in the middle of one of Joe's and Bonebreaker's "disagreements."
A reworking of AIM, FIRE, SCOOT (1952), using stock footage.
