“You vill see... and you vill laugh.”

Brendan Byers III, one of the richest men in America, has been pronounced 4-F and can't serve his country in its war against Hitler. Byers does not take "No" for an answer and recruits other 4-F's to fight against Hitler.

VIBE

A goofy, over-the-top send-up of wartime patriotism. Expect broad gags and a lighthearted, if problematic, take on heroism. It's pure, unadulterated silliness from a bygone era.
