Synopsis: There isn't much of a plot, really. The film focuses on an army training station for peacetime soldiers, and its various inhabitants. One of them is a rich playboy who expects to be released thanks to his influential father's intervention, which never happens; Abbott and Costello inadvertently sign up, and provide comical sketches throughout the movie; said rich guy competes with another, more righteous, guy for the love of a beautiful hostess; the Andrews Sisters do several musical numbers.
Appraisal: Probably (though I haven't seen many of them) one of the weaker Abbott & Costello films. Anyway, I think it's hard not to enjoy it at least a tiny bit: the Andrews Sisters sing well, the songs are not so bad, the duo's sketches are uneven but good enough for a few laughs, there are even some combat drill scenes which seem pretty impressive.
