Based on the famed W.W.II cartoons: Lowbrow G.I.s Willie and Joe, on the Italian front, are
good soldiers in combat, but meet the antics of gung-ho Captain Johnson and other military
snafus with a barrage of wry comments. On a 3-day pass in Naples, Joe's penchant for
wine and women involves the pair with luscious Emi Rosso and her moonshiner father,
whose tangled affairs land them in ever deeper trouble.
