- Captain Gillis (Frank Faylen) puts Sergeant "Dodo" Doubleday (William Tracy), because of his photographic memory, on a candidates list for Officer's Training School ahead of Sergeant William Ames (Joe Sawyer), much to the dismay of Ames. The latter, in an effort to make Doubleday look bad, puts him in charge of the training of the Hatfield clan, a raw-to-the-max group of recruits from Kentucky. That they are all sharp-shooters does Doubleday no harm. Meanwhile, across town, a highly-respected citizen named Arnold Benedict (Clyde Filmore) and his tall squeeze Lydia (Rebel Randall) open up an in-house canteen for the soldiers. That Arnold is a German Spy comes as no great surprise to students of American history or Hal Roach films. Joan (Jean Porter), Dodo's girl friend (and ample proof that Dodo is smarter than he looks and acts), discovers that all the house-plants in the house are armed with listening devices feeding directly to the basement where most of Hollywood's German-actor colony (most under WWII assumed nom-de-plumes) are eavesdropping on the conversations of the soldiers. While Dodo and his MP band of Hatfields are cleaning out this nest of spies, Dodo hears a message on the short-wave announcing the locations and meeting places of all the 5th Column spy rings and, because of his photographic memory, there will be no problem passing this info onto Colonel Elliott (Robert Barrat.) And there wouldn't have been if Dodo hadn't got knocked out and lost his memory.

- Early 40s, USSR. The plot of the picture is based on a story about schoolchildren who, like all their peers, love to play Cossack robbers and war games. The guys are divided into two teams, they arm themselves with everything they can - some even have water pistols - and fight under the warm summer sun. Each of them is a hero, until mom called for dinner. One day the South win, the next day the field remains for the North, and the game goes according to all the rules, with reconnaissance and captures of "tongues". But one day a big war comes to their yard - an insidious enemy attacked their homeland, violating all treaties and agreements. The boys cannot go to the front because they are still very young. But they become steadfast soldiers of another front, about which few people make films - labor, in the rear. The second part of the film will show us the daily life of those who were on duty on the roofs at night in anticipation of air raids, helping the families of older brothers and fathers who went to the front. Some became law enforcement officers in the rear instead of mobilized policemen, others worked assembling shells. The film was shot by director Alexander Razumny, also known for the film adaptation of Gaidar's story Timur and his team, and will be of interest to everyone who is fond of films of the war period. The tape was based on the story of the same name by Sergei Mikhalkov about the boys who helped the front in the rear. And even despite the fact that the film is over 70 years old, it looks fascinating even today, largely due to the camera work and the excellent acting of the guys, for whom the plot of the film was the surrounding reality.
