Synopsis
Hard-boiled Sergeant Diggs shows open contempt for Greg Lee, a cabaret dancer, while flirting with his partner, Zella Fay. Greg, a simpering dandy, tries to get even with the sergeant, and as a result he is arrested and sent to an Army training camp instead of jail. At camp, his life is made miserable by the constant badgering of Diggs, which he reciprocates in kind. Following a series of comic incidents, Greg, with a full complement of parachutes, rescues Diggs and Betty Wayne, the judge's daughter, from a runaway balloon and thus proves his heroism and fortitude to his rival and opponent.
