Life suddenly takes a not-so-happy turn, however, when Bullet gets drafted. Hogan's gangster partners persuade him to enlist and keep an eye on the fighter, who is subsequently declared psychologically unfit for the Army. Enter Herbert Tuttle (Mickey Rooney), a draftee eager to have Hogan turn him into a fighter. Hogan reluctantly agrees only after he discovers Tuttle's aunt is the beautiful singer (Marilyn Maxwell) at a nightclub.

To further complicate Hogan's life there is a rulebook Military Police Officer who tries to squash the shenanigans.

La guerre vient d'éclater et Max et Léon doivent s'engager, comme des milliers de jeunes en 1939. Et si au départ ils ne réalisent pas vraiment les conséquences d'une telle mission, ils ne vont pas tarder à découvrir que la guerre n'est pas une affaire à prendre à la légère. Et quand la défaite frappe, c'est encore moins réjouissant. Max et Léon n'ont plus qu'une idée en tête : rentrer le plus vite possible et coûte que coûte chez eux, à Mâcon. Mais c'est sans compter les forces et les hommes qui sont aux commandes et qui ne comptent pas les lâcher comme ça.

In post-World War II Germany, French Army Captain Henri Rochard (Cary Grant) is given the task of recruiting a highly skilled lens maker, Schindler (Martin Miller). He is assigned American Lieutenant Catherine Gates (Ann Sheridan) as his chauffeur, much to their mutual discomfort (arising from several prior clashes). The only available transportation is a motorcycle, which due to Army regulations, only Catherine is allowed to drive; Henri has to ride in the sidecar. After several mishaps, the constantly quarreling couple arrive at their destination, Bad Nauheim.
