Porém, o que Eugene encontra de fato são um sangrento sádico (Christopher Walken) e um pelotão de recrutas pouco adepto da camaradagem. Tendo como arma apenas seu afiado senso de humor e uma poportuna sagacidade, Eugene enfrenta a dura vida do exército. Ele está disposto a sair de lá com tudo o que tinha quando chegou. Exceto uma coisa: a virgindade. Narrando as viagens e aventuras de Eugene da adolescencia à idade adulta, esta brilhante comédia justifica o sucesso que teve no teatro e no cinema.
