The young, spoiled and feeble Daniel Forrester IV (Dick Nelson), a very rich eligible bachelor, gets his draft notice from the U.S. Army and is beyond himself with joy, because now Daniel has a chance to prove he hasn't the weak constitution his Aunts Martha (Mae Marsh) and Agatha (Ethel Griffies) believe him to have. Daniel performs well at his Army physical and is enrolled in the Army soon after. To look after Daniel during the service, his chauffeur Ollie (Oliver Hardy) and gardener Stan (Stan Laurel) joins the Army at the same time. They all go to basic military training at legendary Fort Merritt in Texas. Daniel finds the Army to his liking, performing excellently at the exercises, but Stan and Ollie are less happy with their new duties. Their drill Sergeant Hippo (Edmund MacDonald) considers Stan and Ollie to be lazy, and soon their every antic drives the sergeant crazy. Stan's pet crow Penelope is a constant source of irritation for the sergeant. But what irritates Hippo most is that the fort's photo developer, Ginger Hammond (Sheila Ryan), takes a special interest in Daniel. The sergeant, who has tried to catch Ginger's heart himself for quite some time, becomes jealous of Daniel. Her feelings are reciprocated as Daniel confesses his love for her in his sleep, while Stan and Ollie listen. They don't want Daniel to pursue Ginger, since they are not certain that his health will cope with the strain of a romantic involvement. Stan and Ollie worry that a relation between the two will kill their employer, so posing as businessmen they pay Ginger a visit and try to fend her off by telling her that Daniel is broke and not the catch she believes. She recognizes them and throws them out. Hippo also tries to break up the loving couple by cancelling Daniel's night leave and putting him in the guard room instead. Stan and Ollie get into trouble when they are captured by the opposite team in a military exercise maneuver. When Daniel hears about their unfortunate situation, he escapes his lock-up and uses Penelope to find Stan. Penelope helps find Stan, and the team that Stan and Ollie belong to win the maneuver. Daniel and his employees become heroes, and Daniel and Ginger become a couple. Penelope gets her own bird-size uniform and all the boys participate in a military parade together, while the aunts and Ginger watch.

However, he lies to her and tells her he is married when she wants to come with him on his leave to Paris. Replacements arrive and their lack of discipline and knowledge infuriate the Captain. But he is expecting the arrival of a new top sergeant, who he hopes will be able to train them properly. However, when the sergeant arrives, it is Quirt, Captain Flagg's long time rival, a rivalry which quickly re-ignites.
