Brown and Carney play a couple of dimwitted sad sacks who peel a lot of potatoes in Burma in the midst of World War Two. Once they head off into combat the two manage to get captured by the Japanese. Along with their sergeant, who finds them as annoying as most viewers probably do at this point, they somehow escape by utilizing various modes of transportation -- car, elephant and tank. During their escape they pick up a pair of wisecracking showgirls to enliven the proceedings. The only scene I found slightly amusing in this film was when they spoke gibberish to the prison camp commander. Otherwise all the gags fell flat or seemed stale. There was also unfortunately no shortage of attempts at racist based humor.
