Slip who's bit less patriotic is nevertheless forced to join the US Military in him trying to stop his fellow Bowery Boys from joining it!
Sent to Ft.Stockton for basic training the Boys turn out to be such a pain in the butt to the US Army and their take no BS drill instructor Sgt.Frisbie that they do more to help the enemy overseas that protect their country here back home! It's later when Sweet Shop owner Louie Dumbrowsky also decided to join the military and fight the commies that it's found out that he invented back in 1918 this Hydrogen Ray! Given a commission,from corporal to major, Major Dumbrowsky is put in charge of the Bowery Boys at Ft.Stockton.
A lot more serious then any of the previous Bowery Boys films "Bowery Battalion" has Slip Sach & Co. take on a commie,in 1951 when the film was made what else could it have been, spy network working right out of Ft.Stokton!
