Which Way to the Front?

“You vill see... and you vill laugh.”

Brendan Byers III (Jerry Lewis) is one of the richest men in America, and the army has stamped him 4-F, unfit to fight Hitler. He refuses to accept it. With his money he gathers other rejected men into a private force of his own, and Jerry Lewis, who directs, also plays Field Marshal Erik Kesselring. Behind the pratfalls sits a plain question of who gets to count as a soldier.
