Von Hindenburg
Por detrás de las líneas enemigas, el Capitán Bob White se disfraza de mujer para engañar a los miembros del Alto Mando alemán, incluido el propio Kaiser. (filmaffinit) Con Mack Sennett como supervisor y buena parte de su troupe en el reparto (Ford Sterling, Mal St. Clair, Chester Conklin, Ben Turpin, etcétera), no cabía esperar otro resultado como el que se nos ofrece: una brillante mascarada bélica que algunos podrían considerar como un "ajuste de cuentas" de los americanos contra los germanos, pero que a nosotros nos parece que ni siquiera el guionista se planteó presentarla como tal. Se nota que su objetivo principal era pasárselo bomba y, recíprocamente, nos lo hace pasar a nosotros.
