The best parts come when the attractive Leny Marenbach and Charlotte Daubert are serving as screen decorations. The comedy derives from such incidents as...when a soldier (the top-billed Guenther Lueders) goes rabbit hunting. But the Major shoots at the rabbit the same time as he does, and claims it. Adding insult to injury, the officer orders Lueders to cook it. Lueders finds a cat the same size as the rabbit and the Major and his staff get hasten-braten a la cat. The Major orders Lueders to sample the stew also. Written by Les Adams See less
