The boys star as Blackie Benson and Heathcliff respectively. They are the two goofball assistants to a stunt pilot who decides to join the air corps.
They both go with him and hilarity ensues as Blackie and Heathcliff make the Air Corps a disaster. There are plenty of jokes and comedy routines, but I actually found the film to be lacking in comedy, at least compared to other Abbott & Costello films.
Dick Foran is good in the role of the cocky pilot named Jinx Roberts. The rest of the cast includes William Gargan, Martha Raye, Carole Bruce, and Charles Lang.
This is a good time waster, but something about this film didn't click with me. There is one great scene where the boys are attempting to fly a plane, and the results are typical A&C.
As a fan I will watch anything with Abbott & Costello in it, but this one is not too high on my list.
