A lighthearted wartime comedy musical where Abbott & Costello's slapstick antics and musical numbers provide pure entertainment and escapism.

When a barnstorming stunt pilot decides to join the air corps, his two goofball assistants decide to go with him. Since the two are Abbott & Costello, the air corps doesn't know what it's in for.
