18 min. (Short Subject)

The boys are greeting card salesmen who try to help a wife by posing as her lovers. When her husband comes home, he sees the Stooges and chases them outside, where they unfortunately hide in an Army enlistment line. To make matters worse, their drill sergeant turns out to be none other than the jealous husband. While training, it isn't long before their bumbling has the Sarge attempting to perform bayonet practice on them. Later on the battlefield, the Stooges accidentally dose themselves with a laughing gas bomb and are captured by the enemy.

Much of this film was shot on the Columbia Ranch in Burbank

The first half of this short is a reworking of Laurel & Hardy's THE FIXER UPPERS (1935)

Note actor Eddie Laughton in two supporting roles: the Dares' neighbor, and the Stooges' battlefield C.O.
