The story

Four troublemaking young men are assigned to Weinberg Military Academy as punishment for their antics: Chooch, the heir to an organized crime family; Ike, a faith healer's son; Hash, the son of an Arab sheik; and Oliver, whose governor father is up for re-election. In charge of these new recruits is sadistic Major Vaughn Liceman. Three of the four new recruits establish themselves as troublemakers from the start, but Chooch wants to go straight and focuses on his studies.
