Joe Fingers is a Marine stuck on an outpost in the South Pacific. He loves telling tall tales out of boredom. The men don't always believe him but can't get enough of his stories. Movie star Kim Karol makes a surprise visit and the boys see an opportunity to catch him out on one of his lies.
It's a nice little story. It's a short. It could do more but it's still only a short. I'm not sure that it deserved to get the Oscar. The story and the times probably had a lot to do with the win. It's a fine short and it brought the war home in a non-threatening way.
