The story

Against the backdrop of 1917, the narrative unfolds with Stan and Ollie's conscription into the American Expeditionary Force during World War I, where their ineptitude earns them the ire of their drill sergeant, relegating them to kitchen duties. A misinterpretation of instructions leads them to deposit garbage cans in the general's private domain, a faux pas that precipitates their imprisonment alongside a disgruntled cook. Their tumultuous journey continues as they find themselves amidst the perils of war, forming a bond with soldier Eddie Smith, who tragically succumbs to combat.
