The story

Bumbling former World War II serviceman Peter Stirling is sent to the United States Army's military academy at West Point as a reward for stopping a plot to bomb his government workplace. After enrolling, he is privately tutored by his old Army mule friend Francis, which causes trouble when he reveals that his tutor is one of West Point's mascots. Peter is an important confidant to roommate Wilbur Van Allen, the football team's star quarterback.
