A lighthearted, music-driven comedy about con artists accidentally drafted into the Army, built entirely on slapstick humor, musical numbers, and the warmth of mismatched characters learning to work together.

Petty con artists Slicker Smith and Herbie Brown mistakenly join the Army evading the cops. The cop chasing them winds up as their drill instructor. A rich young man and his former working class chauffeur are not only in the same unit, they're vying for a pretty girl who seems attracted to both.
