When two sidewalk salesmen, Slicker Smith and Herbie Brown, duck into a theater to avoid being busted by the cops, they never expect it will lead to their enlisting in the army. It turns out the theater is now an Army Recruitment Center. But these former peddlers are not the only fish out of water. Wealthy Randolph Parker III joins as well, though he seems more focused on hostess Judy Gray than on his responsibilities.
