Un gorila muy peligroso se ha escapado del zoologico. Al escuchar que los sobrinos de Donald escuchan la noticia en la radio, Donald aprovecha para darles un susto, pero pronto el susto se lo llevará él mismo...
El viejo juego de conchas tiene una nueva cara cuando Donald se queda fuera de la base más allá de "Taps" y tiene que tratar de volver a colarse sin alertar a Pete.
Donald is stuck on KP at an air training base. Sergeant Pete gives him a huge pile of potatoes to peel first, then gives him some tests: close your eyes and touch fingers, pin the tail on the airplane. He finally gets sent aloft, only to discover it's a parachute jump. Eventually, both Donald and Pete end up falling with no chutes and a bomb.
Donald Fauntleroy Duck gets his draft notice and goes in, past all the amazingly enticing recruiting posters, to sign up. First he has to pass the physical. Despite his flat feet, he makes it. Donald wants to fly, but first he has to make it through Sergeant Pete's boot camp. He has a terrible time with close-order drills, and standing at attention without moving when he's over an ant-hill proves a real challenge. Eventually, Donald ends up on endless KP.
Un programa de radio le da una idea a Donald: hacer gofres, pero sin querer añade pegamento a la mezcla y el resultado es tan catastrófico que decide ir a la emisora de radio a echarles la bronca.
