SYN:
With World War I over, Sargeant
MacGillicuddy wakes the Stooges and beats them up for sleeping through
the entire war; they receive medals of valor for their wounds. After
getting out of the service the Stooges find themselves on the streets
looking for food. When they anger a patron in a nearby cafeteria,
he tricks them into thinking they can go up and apply for a job in
a nearby office building. Little do they know that they are re-enlisting
in the Army. Ironically, they get assigned to the same troop with
their old comrade, Sargeant MacGillicuddy, who's assigned to their
regiment. The Stooges' first duty is to retrieve ammunition for target
practice. During their absence, however, target practice is postponed
because Admiral Hawkins' flagship is late in arriving. Unaware of
the news, the Stooges fire the cannon and blow up the Admiral's flagship.
