Whiz kid William Tracy used his photographic memory to quickly rise through the ranks in the military. He clashes with his superiors, particularly a sergeant who wants him booted out, but always gets the last laugh. He eventually becomes the CO of the camp after being mistaken for a general, endearing him to the enlisted men who originally made fun of him. Low budget programmer worth a few chuckles, with one inspired scene featuring a wild horse sending camp band members flying through the air.
